We present two specially selected allotropes of graphene: Turbostratic graphene (TG) and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs).
TG discs are graphitic microstructures where the twisting of adjacent layers leads to an electronic decoupling. Electrical transport measurements reveal quantum effects such as weak localization and huge charge carrier mobilities (100,000 cm2/Vs) in protected bulk layers [1]. In non-local spin valves we find efficient spin injection over micrometer distances showing large spin diffusion lengths.
Using electromigrated nanojunctions we are able to investigate electrical and spin transport in chemically synthesized GNRs. As they are dispersed in a solvent [2] they can be drop cast on such junctions. With GNRs of different widths and edge geometries we will probe the exciting unconventional properties that have been predicted for these nanostructures [3].
