  • Epitaxial graphene quantum dots for high-performance terahertz bolometers
    Patent number: 11029213
    Abstract: Devices including graphene quantum dots yield extremely high performance THz bolometers, by measuring the current of hot electrons formed in the graphene source and drain electrodes of the device and propagating through the graphene quantum dot connected thereto. Devices may also include additional materials such as MoS2, as well as one or more gate electrodes to alter performance as needed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 2016
    Date of Patent: June 8, 2021
    Assignees: Georgetown University, The Government of the United States, as Repressented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Abdel El Fatimy, Paola Barbara, David Kurt Gaskill
