AC conductivity parameters of graphene derived from THz etalon transmittance

Nanoscale. 2014 Nov 21;6(22):13895-9. doi: 10.1039/c4nr03222e.

Abstract

THz frequency-domain transmittance measurements were carried out on chemical-vapor-deposited (CVD) graphene films transferred to high-resistivity silicon substrates, and packaged as back-gated graphene field effect transistors (G-FETs). The graphene AC conductivity σ(ω), both real and imaginary parts, is determined between 0.2 and 1.2 THz from the transmittance using the transmission matrix method and curve-fitting techniques. Critical parameters such as the charge-impurity scattering width and chemical potential are calculated. It is found that not only the sheet charge density but also the scattering parameter can be modified by the back-gate voltage.
