Title | Transport properties of carbon based low dimensional structures |
Abstract | Carbon-based low dimensional materials like graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerene are an exceptional category of materials that possess distinct features. Over the last two decades, the unique characteristics and outstanding ability of graphene to transport electrons have fascinated numerous researchers in both theoretical and experimental fields. Graphene-based nanoelectronics devices are currently possible due to their unique properties such as extraordinary mobility, atomic thinness, large surface area, and strong optical and thermal conductivity. For the electron transport properties of graphene, the most important factors are scattering processes, which include coulomb charged impurities, surface roughness, short range impurities, optical phonon, acoustic phonon, and grain boundary. Various electronic devices utilizing double layer graphene structures (DLGS) have recently become the subject of investigations. I have incorporated different scattering phenomena such as surface roughness potential, short- range impurities and long-range impurities in presence of zero and finite temperature to study the scattering rate and eventually the conductivity of DLGS in different environments. Within the framework of Boltzmann Transport theory, the scattering rate and conductivity have been computed. |
