We provide a broad review of fundamental electronic properties of two-dimensional graphene with the emphasis on density and temperature dependent carrier transport in doped or gated graphene structures. A salient feature of our review is a critical comparison between carrier transport in graphene and in two-dimensional semiconductor systems (e.g. heterostructures, quantum wells, inversion layers) so that the unique features of graphene electronic properties arising from its gap- less, massless, chiral Dirac spectrum are highlighted. Experiment and theory as well as quantum and semi-classical transport are discussed in a synergistic manner in order to provide a unified and comprehensive perspective. Although the emphasis of the review is on those aspects of graphene transport where reasonable consensus exists in the literature, open questions are discussed as well. Various physical mechanisms controlling transport are described in depth including long- range charged impurity scattering, screening, short-range defect scattering, phonon scattering, many-body effects, Klein tunneling, minimum conductivity at the Dirac point, electron-hole puddle formation, p-n junctions, localization, percolation, quantum-classical crossover, midgap states, quantum Hall effects, and other phenomena.

We present results on label-free detection of DNA hybridization using InAs μ-Hall sensors. The μ-Hall sensor consisted of six 1-μm Hall crosses defined on an InAs quantum well substrate. The sensor was then covered with sputter-deposited SiO2 and Au pads were patterned on top of some of the Hall crosses. Thiolated ssDNA strands that are complementary to one end of the target ssDNA were assembled on the Au pads and the rest of the device platform was passivated with PEG-silane. Biotinylated and fluorescently-tagged complementary ssDNA to the other end of the target ssDNA were labeled with commercial streptavidin-coated 350 nm superparamagnetic beads. Labeled ssDNA were found to assemble selectively onto the Au pads after mixing with the target ssDNA, indicating successful hybridization of the three ssDNA sequences. The presence of the assembled beads was successfully detected via the Hall sensor and confirmed using laser scanning confocal microscopy. This work was supported by NIH NIGMS GM079592.

The quantum Hall (QH) effect in two-dimensional (2D) electrons and holes in high quality graphene samples is studied in strong magnetic fields up to 45 T. QH plateaus at filling factors nu=0,pm1,pm4\nu=0,\pm 1,\pm 4nu=0,pm1,pm4 are discovered at magnetic fields B>B>B>20 T, indicating the lifting of the four-fold degeneracy of the previously observed QH states at nu=pm(∣n∣+1/2)\nu=\pm(|n|+1/2)nu=pm(n+1/2), where nnn is the Landau level index. In particular, the presence of the nu=0,pm1\nu=0, \pm 1nu=0,pm1 QH plateaus indicates that the Landau level at the charge neutral Dirac point splits into four sublevels, lifting sublattice and spin degeneracy. The QH effect at nu=pm4\nu=\pm 4nu=pm4 is investigated in tilted magnetic field and can be attributed to lifting of the spin-degeneracy of the n=1n=1n=1 Landau level.

A unipolar injection quantum cascade (QC) laser grown in an AlGaAs/GaAs material system by molecular beam epitaxy, is reported. The active material is a 30 period sequence of injectors/active regions made from Al0.33Ga0.67As/GaAs-coupled quantum wells. For this device a special waveguide design, which complies with a GaAs heavily doped substrate and very short Al0.90Ga0.10As cladding layers, has been optimized. At
