Contact Resistance for “End-Contacted” Metal-Graphene and Metal-Nanotube Interfaces from Quantum Mechanics
In this paper, we predict the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and contact resistance of “end-contacted” metal electrode-graphene and metal electrode-carbon nanotube (CNT) interfaces for five metals, Ti, Pd, Pt, Cu, and Au, based on the first-principles quantum mechanical (QM) density functional and matrix Green’s function methods. We find that the contact resistance (normalized to surface...
متن کاملInterface structure and mechanics between graphene and metal substrates: a first-principles study.
Graphene is a fascinating material not only for technological applications, but also as a test bed for fundamental insights into condensed matter physics due to its unique two-dimensional structure. One of the most intriguing issues is the understanding of the properties of graphene and various substrate materials. In particular, the interfaces between graphene and metal substrates are of criti...
متن کاملSchottky barrier at graphene/metal oxide interfaces: insight from first-principles calculations
Anode materials play an important role in determining the performance of lithium ion batteries. In experiment, graphene (GR)/metal oxide (MO) composites possess excellent electrochemical properties and are promising anode materials. Here we perform density functional theory calculations to explore the interfacial interaction between GR and MO. Our result reveals generally weak physical interact...
متن کاملThe electronic and diffusion properties of metal adatoms on graphene sheets: a first-principles study
We use first-principles calculations to investigate the geometric, electronic and magnetic properties of metal adatoms on two typical graphene substrates (monolayer and bilayer). Firstly, we study the adsorption behaviors and the doping effects of metal atoms on pristine and defective bilayer graphene sheets (PBG and DBG). It is found that the metal doping in DBG sheets is more stable than that...
متن کاملChemically modified ribbon edge stimulated H2 dissociation: a first-principles computational study.
First-principles computational studies indicate that (B, N, or O)-doped graphene ribbon edges can substantially reduce the energy barrier for H2 dissociative adsorption. The low barrier is competitive with many widely used metal or metal oxide catalysts. This suggests that suitably functionalized graphene architectures are promising metal-free alternatives for low-cost catalytic processes.
