Developing Commercial Quantum Resistance Standard Based on Epitaxial Graphene
SBC: Graphene Waves, LLC Topic: NoneGraphene Waves proposes to develop a quantum Hall resistance (QHR) standard based on graphene that can be deployed for general electrical calibration in industries. Current QHR standard is based on GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure and requires expensive liquid helium to operate. The continuous increase in price and unstable supply chain of liquid helium limit the QHR standard to be only affordable by t ...
