However,the problem of how to control graphene to form desired Gr/Cu composite is not well solved. This paper aims at exploring the best parameters for preparing graphene with different layers on Cu foil by chemical vapor deposition(CVD)method and studying the effects of different layers graphene on Gr/Cu composite’s electrical conductivity. Graphene grown on single-sided and double-sided copper was prepared for Gr/Cu and Gr/Cu/Gr composites. The resultant electrical conductivity of Gr/Cu composites increased with decreasing graphene layers and increasing graphene volume fraction. The Gr/Cu/Gr composite with monolayer graphene owns volume fraction of less than 0.002%,producing the best electrical conductivity up to59.8 ×10^(6)S/m,equivalent to 104.5% IACS and 105.3% pure Cu foil.展开更多

After copper etching, the multilayer tube collapses forming stripes of graphitic films, their electrical conductance as a function of temperature indicate a semiconductor-like behavior. Using the multilayer graphene stripes, a cross junction is built and owing to its electrical behavior we propose that a tunneling process exists in the device.展开更多

The films were grown by radio frequency magnetron sputtering on glass substrates at room temperature. The electrical conductivity of the films was investigated in the temperature range of 15-500 K. The conductivity data in the temperature range of 400-500 K show the extended state conduction mecha- nism, while the multiphonon hopping (MPH) conduction is found to dominate the electrical transport in the tempera- ture range of 150-300 K. The films deposited at 180 s have the maximum conductivity. The conductivity at T 〈 60 K could be described in terms of variable range hopping (VRH) conduction. The localized state density around Fermi level (N(EF)) at low temperature for the films deposited at 180 s has the minimum value of about 4.02 × 10^21 cm^-3.eV^-1. The average hopping distance (Rhop) for the films deposited at 180 s has the maximum value of about 3.51 × 10^-7 cm.展开更多

Proper control on the temperatures of source and growth zones in an indigenously fabricated dual zone furnace could yield the crystals in the form of whiskers and spherulites. Optical and electron microscopic images were examined to predict the growth mechanism of morphologies. The structural parameters of the grown spherulites were determined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The stoichiometric composition of these crystals was confirmed using energy dispersive analysis by X-rays (EDAX). The type and nature of electrical conductivity were identified by the conventional hot probe and two probe methods, respectively. The mechanical parameters, such as Vickers microhardness, work hardening index, and yield strength, were deduced from microindentation measurements. The results show that the vapour grown p-GaTe crystals exhibit novel physical properties, which make them suitable for device applications.展开更多

Chemical structures were analysed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The current conduction shows ohmic behaviour and the leakage current increases with the content of C sp2 in the deposited a-C:F films at a low electric field. The behaviour of the leakage current is well e^plained by the Poole-Frankel mechanism at a high electric field. The interface traps, rather than chemical structures, of a-C:F films determine the PF emission current.展开更多
