Although it was demonstrated that discrete molecular levels determine the sign and magnitude of the thermoelectric effect in single-molecule junctions, full electrostatic control of these levels has not been achieved to date. Here, we show…
This is a theoretical study of electron transport in gated bilayer graphene - a novel semiconducting material with a tunable band gap. It is shown that the which-layer pseudospin coherence enhances the subgap conductivity and facilitates…
Prior ultralow thermal conductivity materials are not suitable for thermoelectric applications due to the limited electronic transport in the materials. Here, we present a new class of ultralow thermal conductivity materials with…
Graphite is a well-studied material with known electronic and optical properties. Graphene, on the other hand, which is just one layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, has been studied theoretically for quite some time but…
We theoretically investigate heat transport in temperature-biased Josephson tunnel junctions in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. In full analogy with the Josephson critical current, the phase-dependent component of the heat flux…
Graphene is considered a promising candidate to replace conventional transparent conductors due to its low opacity, high carrier mobility and flexible structure. Multi-layer graphene or stacked single layer graphenes have been investigated…
We investigate the optoelectronic response of a graphene interface junction, formed with bilayer and single-layer graphene, by photocurrent (PC) microscopy. We measure the polarity and amplitude of the PC while varying the Fermi level by…
Heat flow in nanomaterials is an important area of study, with both fundamental and technological implications. However, little is known about heat flow in two-dimensional (2D) devices or interconnects with dimensions comparable to the…
Thermal conductivity $\kappa$ of both suspended and supported graphene has been studied by using molecular dynamics simulations. Obvious length dependence is observed in $\kappa$ of suspended single-layer graphene (SLG), while $\kappa$ of…
Interfaces play a crucial role in energy transport at the nanoscale. However, direct experimental observations of interfacial thermal conductance across molecular junctions have remained challenging due to the high spatiotemporal resolution…
We report the first temperature dependent phonon transport measurements in suspended Cu-CVD single layer graphene (SLG) from 15K to 380K using microfabricated suspended devices. The thermal conductance per unit cross section $\sigma$/A…
The wavefront dislocation is an important and ubiquitous phenomenon in wave fields. It is closely related to the phase singularity in a wave function. Some recent studies have verified that the wavefront dislocations in the local density of…
Using calculations from first principles we have investigated the lattice thermal conductivity of ideal mono- and bi-layer graphene sheets. Our results demonstrate that the intrinsic thermal conductivity of both mono- and bi-layer graphene…
A dramatic difference between the vertical thermal conductance response of homogeneous and heterogeneous graphene/h-BN interfaces to external mechanical perturbations, is predicted. Homogeneous graphene and h-BN interfaces exhibit strong…
Non-equilibrium transport and phonon branch-resolved size effects in single-layer graphene materials are studied under a multi-temperature kinetic model, which is developed for capturing the branch-dependent electron-phonon coupling.…
The absence of an energy gap separating valence and conduction bands makes the low-energy electronic properties of graphene and its multi-layers sensitive to electron-electron interactions. In bilayers, for instance, interactions are…
Graphene has drawn wide attention due to its exceptional thermal conductivity but complete understanding of thermal characteristics of polycrystalline graphene is still elusive to date. For the first time, herein, we have systematically…
First-principles density-functional calculations are performed to investigate the thermal transport properties in graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). The dimensional crossover of thermal conductance from one to two dimensions (2D) is clearly…
We report semiconducting behavior of monolayer graphene enabled through plasma activation of substrate surfaces. The graphene devices are fabricated by mechanical exfoliation onto pre-processed SiO2/Si substrates. Contrary to pristine…
The carrier density and temperature dependence of the Hall mobility in mono-, bi- and tri-layer graphene has been systematically studied. We found that as the carrier density increases, the mobility decreases for mono-layer graphene, while…
