We investigate the thermoelectric (TE) figure-of-merit of a single-layer graphene (SLG) sheet by a physics-based analytical technique. We first develop analytical models of electrical and thermal resistances and the Seebeck coefficient of SLG by considering electron interactions with the in-plane and flexural phonons.…

The dependence of electrical conductivity on compression of a freestanding three-dimensional carbon nanotube (CNT) network is investigated. This macrostructure is made of mm-long and entangled CNTs, forming a random skeleton with open pores. The conductivity linearly increases with the applied compression. This behavi…

First-principle supercell calculations are used to determine how 3d elemental additions, especially Fe additions, modify the magnetization, exchange and anisotropy of L10-ordered ferromagnets. Calculations are performed using the VASP code and partially involve configurational averaging over site disorder. Three isost…

We show the growth of high-quality epitaxial graphene on 6$H$-SiC with Raman signatures comparable to exfoliated flakes. We ascribe the remaining low-quality transport properties to the strong electron-phonon coupling to two low-energy phonon modes at 70 and 16 meV. The coupling of these modes is enhanced by the defec…
