Abstract
A graphene-based device can be characterized as including a first electrode comprising graphene, a second electrode comprising graphene, and a potential barrier. The first electrode is physically separated from the second electrode by the potential barrier. The first electrode, second electrode and potential barrier are configured such that the graphene-based device can exhibit non-linear I-V characteristics under application of a voltage bias between the first electrode and the second electrode.
