This study investigates the charge distribution between layers in van der Waals stacked crystals using carbon isotope-labeled few-layer graphene. The electrical transfer characteristics of graphene field-effect transistors are used to calibrate the correspondence between Fermi level and G-phonon frequency. The results reveal that the charge concentration in both top and bottom layers of few-layer graphene is close and does not follow the exponential decay law. Additionally, each additional layer of graphene reduces the charge exchange at the graphene/dopant interface. These findings have important implications for electronic applications based on two-dimensional materials and provide a framework for further exploring the properties of other two-dimensional systems.
Elucidating layer-resolved charge distribution in van der Waals stacked crystals is crucial for electronic applications based on 2D materials. Here, we use CVD-grown few-layer graphene (FLG) labeled by carbon isotopes as a prototype, in which Raman features of two isotope components identify distinct layers. Electrical transfer characteristics of graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) are employed to quantitatively calibrate the correspondence of Fermi level and G-phonon frequency that shifts with the charge carrier concentration (n) variation. The isotope-assisted spectroscopy reveals previously unprobed characteristics that the n value of both top and bottom layers in FLG is close rather than following an exponential decay law. This negligible gradient likely benefits from the pi - pi interaction that favors the interlayer diffusion of charges. In addition, each extra layer reduces the degree of charge exchange at the graphene/dopant interface. These results have important implications for FLG nanoelectronics and provide a robust framework by which one can further investigate the critical properties of other 2D systems.
