About Ballistic Transport in graphene:
IBM has built on their previous graphene research and developed what is being reported as the best graphene-based integrated circuit (IC) built to date, with 10 000 times better performance than previously reported efforts.
This graphene-based IC serves as a radio frequency receiver that performs signal amplification, filtering and mixing. In tests, the IBM team was able to use the circuit to send text messages (in this case, “IBM”) without any distortion.
“This is the first time that someone has shown graphene devices and circuits to perform modern wireless communication functions comparable to silicon technology,” IBM Research director of physical sciences Supratik Guha said in a release.
The idea is for a new kind of electron transportation to be done in air but this is very hard, even for HTC superconductors.
Hi, I hope you knew about new paper in Nature by Prof. de Heer from GIT, USA, in which his group has shown extraordinary mobilities in graphene ribbons. While, we all know, HTCS above 160 K is still dream come true and that also using it in circuitry is difficult. So at the moment graphene do show some LIGHT...
