Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-01580, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Saavedra, Carlos (Queen’s University), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Ontario, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Graphene is a one-atom thick two-dimensional (2D) material material made of carbon. It was first isolated in 2004 and, since that_x000D_
time, many other 2D materials have been successfully isolated in the laboratory but graphene continues to be the most widely_x000D_
studied. The material has exceptional properties such as excellent mechanical, electrical, thermal, and optical properties. The fact_x000D_
that all these properties are found within a single material, along with the possibility to influence these properties through chemical_x000D_
functionalization has stimulated great interest in graphene. Graphene films can be fabricated with custom-designed conductivities_x000D_
that are lower, equal to, or higher than that of a metal. Yet, as with semiconductors, a graphene films conductivity can be_x000D_
changed with an externally applied voltage along the path of the current flow. Because graphene exhibits some electronic_x000D_
properties that are similar to metals while others that are more similar to semiconductors, this material presents unique_x000D_
opportunities for the discovery of new electronic components. In this project, Queens University and Grafoid Inc. (Kingston,_x000D_
Ontario) will use graphene to investigate advanced concepts for tunable high-frequency antennas for ultra low-power wireless_x000D_
