TI  - Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)/graphene nanocomposite material based organic field 
      effect transistor with enhanced mobility.
PG  - 2823-8
AB  - The major drawback of organic field effect transistors (OFETs) is its lower 
      mobility, which restricts their applications for high performance devices. 
      Recently, graphene exhibits excellent carrier mobility, therefore, is used as a 
      novel electronic substance for the fundamental research and several potential 
      applications. Pristine graphene is not applicable in field effect transistors 
      (FETs) for satisfactory on/off current ratio as it has no forbidden energy gap. 
      Here, we report the fabrication as well as characterizations of 
      poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT)/graphene nanocomposite (with two distinct 
      concentrations i.e., 0.05 and 0.1 mg/ml of graphene in P3HT solution) based FETs 
      to over come the limitations. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of 
      P3HT/graphene based FETs are measured and key performance parameters of device 
      are compared against only polymer P3HT based FETs. The analysis demonstrates 
      that, in P3HT/graphene transistors some crucial parameters such as drain 
      saturation current and mobility enhanced drastically although the on/off ratio 
      reduced significantly. Our study demonstrates that presence of graphene in 
      organic semiconductor and a synergic effect due to uniform distribution in the 
      nanospace is an ordinary route to achieve high mobility OFETs which impart an 
      affordable way for raising the performance of organic transistors.
