Electroluminescence from carbon-based nanostructures — •Ji Hoon Ryoo and Cheol-Hwan Park — Department of Physics, Seoul National University, Seoul 151-747, Korea

Light emission from carbon nanostructures upon current flowing reflects their novel electronic structures and is important for applications purposes. Peculiar emission versus photon energy profiles in the electroluminescence from carbon nanostructures have been attributed to inter-band electronic transitions [1], electron-phonon interactions [2] and interference effects [3]. In this presentation, we discuss the origin of multi-peak intensity versus energy feature in the electroluminescence from graphene based on recent experimental results, and look into how the electronic structure of graphene affects its electroluminescence. This work was supported by Korean NRF funded by MSIP (Grant No. NRF-2013R1A1A1076141). Computational resources have been provided by Aspiring Researcher Program through Seoul National University (SNU) in 2014.
