چکیده

We investigate the temperature dependence of conductivity in ballistic graphene using Landauer transport theory. We obtain results which are qualitatively in agreement with many features recently observed in transport measurements on high mobility suspended graphene. The conductivity sigma at high temperature T and low density n grows linearly with T, while at high n we find sigma approximately square root(|n|) with negative corrections at small T due to the T dependence of the chemical potential. At moderate densities the conductivity is a nonmonotonic function of T and n, exhibiting a minimum at T=0.693 hv square root(|n|) where v is the Fermi velocity. We discuss two kinds of Fabry-Perot oscillations in short nanoribbons and their stability at finite temperatures.

Josephson current in ballistic superconductor-graphene systems

We calculate the phase, the temperature and the junction length dependence of the supercurrent for ballistic graphene Josephson junctions. For low temperatures we find nonsinusoidal dependence of the supercurrent on the superconductor phase difference for both short and long junctions. The skewness, which characterizes the deviaton of the current-phase relation from a simple sinusoidal one, sho...

Molecular Dynamics of Diffusive-Ballistic Heat Conduction in Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Diffusive-ballistic heat conduction of finite-length single-walled carbon nanotubes has been studied by means of non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The length-dependence of thermal conductivity is quantified for a range of nanotube-lengths up to a micrometer at room temperature. A gradual transition from nearly pure ballistic to diffusive-ballistic heat conduction was identified fr...

Impurity-assisted tunneling in graphene

The electric conductance of a strip of undoped graphene increases in the presence of a disorder potential, which is smooth on atomic scales. The phenomenon is attributed to impurityassisted resonant tunneling of massless Dirac fermions. Employing the transfer matrix approach we demonstrate the resonant character of the conductivity enhancement in the presence of a single impurity. We also calcu...

Investigation of the effect of temperature and concentration of ceramic nanoparticles on the thermal conductivity of water-ethylene glycol / nano Alumina-nano Graphen hybrid nanofluid

Nanofluid is a suspension obtained by adding nanoscale particles (100 nm) to a base fluid to improve heat transfer. In this study, the effect of temperature and concentration of nanoparticles consisting of Alumina nanoparticles and Graphene nanosheets on the thermal conductivity of a base fluid consisting of water and ethylene glycol was studied. Also, 0.2% by volume of oleic acid (OA) and 0.2%...
