In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

    Abstract

    The intention of this work is to have a better understanding of the properties of functionalized graphene for its use in electronic and spintronic applications. First, we explored how the chemical reaction is working in graphene, testing a number of samples and analyzing the results through a spectroscopic technique but studying the functionalized flakes topographically as well. Then, a measurable nano device was fabricated and the electronic properties of functionalized graphene were investigated, specifically its charge transport properties when contacted via tunnel barriers. This same device was used later to study the spin transport characteristics of functionalized graphene, using it as spin diffusion channel.
