Cheong}, title = {Potential Distribution in Functionalized Graphene Devices Probed by Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy}, abstract = { Kelvin probe force microscopy was used to study the impact of contacts and topography on the local potential distribution on contacted, individual functionalized graphene sheets (FGS) deposited on a SiO2/Si substrate. Negligible contact resistance is found at the graphene/Ti interface and a graphene resistance of 2.3 k Omega is extracted for a single sheet with sub-mu m size. Pronounced steps in the topography, which we attribute to a variation of the spacing between graphene and substrate, result in a significant change of the local resistivity. }, year = {2011}, journal = {Physics of Semiconductors: 30th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors}, volume = {1399}, publisher = {American Institute of Physics}, isbn = {978-0-7354-1002-2}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3666628}, language = {eng}, }
