CVD-grown layers of graphene were transferred to the surface of highly piezoelectric lithium niobate. This allowed integration of graphene with interdigital transducers used to generate and detect surface acoustic waves (SAWs). A continuous wave RF signal applied to the transducers at their resonant frequency generates a DC current flow, which has a linear dependence on the applied RF power and can be induced against an applied bias. These findings could provide the basis for new ways of studying electron transport in graphene.","PeriodicalId":6385,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84517232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The size of the samples is in the range of some of the transmitted wavelengths and is smaller than the antennas' footprints. The scattered pulses are collected by an array of receiving antennas. The received signals can be sampled instantaneously with just one receiving channel and a special combiner, which adds a time shift to each antenna path in order to separate the signals in time. Multivariate calibration is applied in order to develop a statistical model for the moisture content of the samples. An accuracy for the determination of the moisture content of 0.61% is achieved while the range of moisture is varied from 1.7% to 20%.","PeriodicalId":6385,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84083251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
