Transverse Transport in Graphite
نویسندگان
چکیده
Graphite is a layered material showing a strong anisotropy. Among the unconventional properties reported by experiments, the electronic transport along the c-axis, which has direct implications in order to build graphitic devices, remains a controversial topic. We study the influence of inelastic scattering on the electron tunnelling between layers. In the presence of electron electron interactions, tunnelling processes are modified by inelastic scattering events.

Electromechanical characterisation of dielectric elastomer planar actuators: comparative evaluation of different electrode materials and different counterloads
This work intends to extend the electromechanical characterisation of dielectric elastomer actuators. Planar actuators were realised with a 50 m-thick film of an acrylic elastomer coated with compliant electrodes. The isotonic transverse strain, the isometric transverse stress and the driving current, due to a 2 s high voltage impulse, were measured for four electrode materials (thickened elect...
متن کاملBounds on the Effective Transport and Elastic Properties of a Random Array of Cylindrical Fibers in a Matrix
This paper studies the determination of rigorous upper and lower bounds on the effective transport and elastic moduli of a transversely isotropic fiber-reinforced composite derived by Silnutzer and by Milton. The third-order Silnutzer bounds on the transverse conductivity ae, the transverse bulk modulus ke, and the axial shear modulus ne, depend upon the microstructure through a three-point cor...

Nowadays, with the increasing population in Iran, especially in arid and semi-arid areas, as a result of the growing importance of the quality of water resources, including groundwater, field experiments and many simulations have been conducted for the development of groundwater contamination through powerful and up- to- date software. However, in most cases, there is a tangible difference betw...
متن کاملPhonon dispersion in graphite.
We measured the dispersion of the graphite optical phonons in the in-plane Brillouin zone by inelastic x-ray scattering. The longitudinal and transverse optical branches cross along the Gamma-K as well as the Gamma-M direction. The dispersion of the optical phonons was, in general, stronger than expected from the literature. At the K point the transverse optical mode has a minimum and is only a...
متن کاملInteger Quantum Hall Effect in Graphite
We present Hall effect measurements on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite that indicate the occurrence of the integer quantum-Hall-effect. The evidence is given by the observation of regular plateau-like structures in the field dependence of the transverse conductivity obtained in van der Pauw configuration. Measurements with the Corbino-disk configuration support this result and indicate that ...
