Effect of Substrate Support on Dynamic Graphene/Metal Electrical Contacts (open access)

Effect of Substrate Support on Dynamic Graphene/Metal Electrical Contacts

This article investigates the stability of dynamic electrical contacts at a graphene/metal interface using atomic force microscopy (AFM), under static conditions with variable normal loads and under sliding conditions with variable speeds.

Effect of Length, Diameter, Chirality, Deformation, and Strain on Contact Thermal Conductance Between Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (open access)

Effect of Length, Diameter, Chirality, Deformation, and Strain on Contact Thermal Conductance Between Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes

This article explores the role of various geometrical and structural (length, diameter, chirality) as well as external (deformation and strain) carbon nanotube (CNT) parameters to estimate total as well as area-normalized thermal conductance across cross-contact interconnects.
