Does the schottky barrier occur in a graphene/metal contact?

04 April 2015 1 2K Report

Does the schottky barrier occur in a graphene/metal contact? I will appreciate any reference on that

Schottky barrier formed via metal/semi-conductor while Graphene is conductor. All the metal contacts on metal will be ohmic and metal/graphene will result into ohmic contact. However, Si/graphene could generate Schottky barrier.
