In this work we conduct a close-up investigation into the nature of near-field heat transfer (NFHT) of two graphene sheets in parallel-plate geometry. We develop a fully microscopic and quantum approach using nonequilibrium Green's function…
Graphene is considered to be a promising candidate for future nano-electronics due to its exceptional electronic properties. Unfortunately, the graphene field-effect-transistors (FETs) cannot be turned off effectively due to the absence of…
Transport properties of progressively reduced graphene oxide (GO) are described. Evolution of the electronic properties reveals that as-synthesized GO undergoes insulator-semiconductor-semi-metal transitions with reduction. The apparent…
Proton transfer across single layer graphene is associated with large computed energy barriers and is therefore thought to be unfavorable at room temperature unless nanoscale holes or dopants are introduced, or a potential bias is applied.…
The interaction between graphene and metals represents an important issue for the large-area preparation of graphene, graphene transfer and the contact quality in graphene devices. We demonstrate a simple method for estimating and…
Stefan-Boltzmann's law indicates that far-field blackbody radiation scales at the fourth power of temperature. The temperature dependence of radiative heat transfer in the near field is expected to be very different due to the contribution…
With first-principles DFT calculations, the interaction between graphene and SiO2 surface has been analyzed by constructing the different configurations based on {\alpha}-quartz and cristobalite structures. The single layer graphene can…
We theoretically investigate the heat transfer between two metals across a vacuum gap in extreme near-field regime by quantifying the relative contribution of electrons, phonons and photons. We show that electrons play a dominant role in…
We outline a general approach to the computation of transport properties of interacting systems at low temperetures and frequencies. We show that if the fixed point and the irrelevant operators around it are known, then by studying the…
We investigate the thermal conductivity of suspended graphene as a function of the density of defects, ND, introduced in a controllable way. Graphene layers are synthesized using chemical vapor deposition, transferred onto a transmission…
We demonstrate humidity sensing using a change of electrical resistance of a single- layer chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene that is placed on top of a SiO2 layer on a Si wafer. To investigate the selectivity of the sensor towards the…
The electronic thermal conductivity of graphene and 2D Dirac materials is of fundamental interest and can play an important role in the performance of nano-scale devices. We report the electronic thermal conductivity, $K_{e}$, in suspended…
We investigate the heat current flowing across the interface between graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (so-called white graphene) using both molecular dynamics simulation and nonequilibrium Green's function approaches. These two distinct…
Properties of phonons - quanta of the crystal lattice vibrations - in graphene have attracted strong attention of the physics and engineering communities. Acoustic phonons are the main heat carriers in graphene near room temperature while…
We study the optical conductivity in the low-energy regime of gapped mono- and bilayer graphene. A scaling relation is found, in which the four parameters frequency, gap, Fermi energy and temperature appear only as combination of three…
Extreme near-field heat transfer between metallic surfaces is a subject of debate as the state-of-the-art theory and experiments are in disagreement on the energy carriers driving heat transport. In an effort to elucidate the physics of…
Thermoelectric effects allow the generation of electrical power from waste heat and the electrical control of cooling and heating. Remarkably, these effects are also highly sensitive to the asymmetry in the density of states around the…
Realizing an optimal Schottky interface of graphene on Si is challenging, as the electrical transport strongly depends on the graphene quality and the fabrication processes. Such interfaces are of increasing research interest for…
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice with remarkable mechanical and electrical properties. Regarded as the thinnest and narrowest conductive mesh, it has drastically different transmission behaviours…
This work analyzes the electromagnetic energy transfer rate between donor and acceptor quantum emitters close to a graphene-coated wire. We discuss the modification of the energy transfer rate when the emitters are interfaced via surface…
