We present the science and technology roadmap for graphene, related two-dimensional crystals, and hybrid systems, targeting an evolution in technology, that might lead to impacts and benefits reaching into most areas of society. This roadmap was developed within the framework of the European Graphene Flagship and outlines the main targets and research areas as best understood at the start of this ambitious project. We provide an overview of the key aspects of graphene and related materials (GRMs), ranging from fundamental research challenges to a variety of applications in a large number of sectors, highlighting the steps necessary to take GRMs from a state of raw potential to a point where they might revolutionize multiple industries. We also define an extensive list of acronyms in an effort to standardize the nomenclature in this emerging field.

Science and technology roadmap for graphene, related two-dimensional crystals, and hybrid systems

In this perspective, we focus on a new type of quantum dots, graphene quantum dots (GQDs). Due to quantum confinement and edge effects, GQDs have presented extraordinary properties, attracting extensive attention from scientists in the fields of chemistry, physics, materials, biology, and other interdisciplinary sciences. Herein, we summarize the significant advances achieved by us and other groups in the past few years on both the experimental and theoretical fronts. Synthetic strategies, unique optical and electronic properties, and the promise of GQDs in energy-related devices, such as photovoltaic devices, fuel cells, and light-emitting diodes, are systematically discussed.

Recent advances in graphene quantum dots for sensing

The possibility to graft nano-objects directly on its surface makes graphene particularly appealing for device and sensing applications. Here we report the design and the realization of a novel device made by a graphene nanoconstriction decorated with TbPc(2) magnetic molecules (Pc = phthalocyananine), to electrically detect the magnetization reversal of the molecules in proximity with graphene. A magnetoconductivity signal as high as 20% is found for the spin reversal, revealing the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of the TbPc(2) quantum magnets. These results depict the behavior of multiple-field-effect nanotransistors with sensitivity at the single-molecule level.

Graphene Spintronic Devices with Molecular Nanomagnets

Advances in carbon nanotube based electrochemical sensors for bioanalytical applications.

We have measured a graphene double quantum dot device with multiple electrostatic gates that are used to enhance control to investigate it. At low temperatures, the transport measurements reveal honeycomb charge stability diagrams which can be tuned from weak to strong interdot tunnel coupling regimes. We precisely extract a large interdot tunnel coupling strength for this system allowing for the observation of tunnel-coupled molecular states extending over the whole double dot. This clean, highly controllable system serves as an essential building block for quantum devices in a nuclear-spin-free world.

Controllable tunnel coupling and molecular states in a graphene double quantum dot

We prepare an etched gate tunable quantum dot in single-layer graphene and present transport measurement in this system. We extract the information of the ground states and excited states of the graphene quantum dot, as denoted by the presence of characteristic Coulomb blockade diamond diagrams. The results demonstrate that the quantum dot in single-layer graphene bodes well for future quantum transport study and quantum computing applications.

Ground States and Excited States in a Tunable Graphene Quantum Dot

Graphene has been proclaimed to be a new revolutionary material for electronics. In particular, graphene-based transistors have developed rapidly and are now considered an option for post-silicon electronics. Quantum FinFET and quantum computation are keeping on attracting scientists’ research interest since it came out. It reveals a cornucopia of new physics and potential applications and has always maintained a very active research environment; many striking research efforts and advanced technologies emerge. New ideas and issues are continuously proposed.

Single-Electron Transistor and Quantum Dots on Graphene

Graphene exhibits unique electrical properties and offers substantial potential as building blocks of nanodevices owing to its unique two-dimensional structure (Geim et al., 2007; Geim et al., 2009; Ihn et al., 2010). Besides being a promising candidate for high performance electronic devices, graphene may also be used in the field of quantum computation, which involves explo‐ ration of the extra degrees of freedom provided by electron spin, in addition to those due to elec‐ tron charge. During the past few years, significant progress has been achieved in implementation of electron spin qubits in semiconductor quantum dots (Hanson et al., 2007; Hanson et al., 2008). To realize quantum computation, the effects of interactions between qubits and their environment must be minimized (Fischer et al., 2009). Because of the weak spin-orbit coupling and largely eliminated hyperfine interaction in graphene, it is highly desirable to co‐ herently control the spin degree of freedom in graphene nanostructures for quantum computa‐ tion (Trauzettel et al., 2007; Guo et al., 2009). However, the low energy quasiparticles in single layer grapheme behave as massless Dirac fermions (Geim et al., 2007; Geim et al., 2009), and the relativistic Klein tunneling effect leads to the fact that it is hard to confine electrons within a small region to form quantum dot in graphene using traditional electrostatical gates (Ihn et al., 2010; Trauzettel et al., 2007). It is now possible to etch a grapheme flake into nano-constrictions in size, which can obtain electron bound states and thus act as quantum dots. As a result, usually a dia‐ mond-like characteristic of suppressed conductance consisting of a number of sub-diamonds is clearly seen (Stampfer et al., 2009; Gallagher et al., 2010), indicating that charge transport in the single graphene quantum dot device may be described by the model of multiple graphene quan‐ tum dots in series along the nanoribbon. The formation of multiple quantum dot structures in the nanoribbons may be attributed to edge roughness or local potential. The rough edges also lift the valley degeneracy, which could suppress the exchange coupling between spins in the gra‐ pheme quantum dots (Trauzettel et al., 2007; Ponomarenko et al., 2008). Recently, there was a

Quantum Transport in Graphene Quantum Dots

We present quantum transport measurements of gates controlled parallel-coupled double quantum dot (PDQD) device on both bilayer and single layer graphenes. The interdot coupling strength can be effectively tuned from weak to strong by in-plane plunger gates. All the relevant energy scales and parameters can be extracted from the honeycomb charge stability diagrams. The present method of designing and fabricating graphene PDQD is demonstrated to be general and reliable and will enhance the realization of graphene nanodevice and desirable study of rich PDQD physical phenomena in graphene.
