Extremely High Thermal Conductivity of Graphene: Experimental Study

We report on the first measurement of the thermal conductivity of a suspended single layer graphene. The measurements were performed using a non-contact optical technique. The near room-temperature values of the thermal conductivity in the range ~ 4840 to 5300 W/mK were extracted for a single-layer graphene. The extremely high value of the thermal conductivity suggests that graphene can outperform carbon nanotubes in heat conduction.

Graphene-on-Sapphire and Graphene-on-Glass: Raman Spectroscopy Study

The room-temperature Raman signatures from graphene layers on sapphire and glass substrates were compared with those from graphene on GaAs substrate and on the standard Si/SiO2 substrate, which served as a reference. It was found that while G peak of graphene on Si/SiO2 and GaAs is positioned at 1580 cm-1 it is down-shifted by ~5 cm-1 for graphene-on-sapphire (GOS) and, in many cases, splits into doublets for graphene-on-glass (GOG) with the central frequency around 1580 cm-1. The obtained results are important for graphene characterization and its proposed graphene applications in electronic devices.

Temperature Coefficients of the Raman Peaks for the Single-Layer and Bi-Layer Graphene

We carried out micro-Raman spectroscopy of graphene layers over the temperature range from approximately 80 K to 370 K. The number of layers was independently confirmed by the quantum Hall measurements and atomic force microscopy. The measured values of the temperature coefficients for the G and 2D-band frequencies of the single-layer graphene are -0.016 1/(cm K) and -0.034 1/(cm K), respectively. The G peak temperature coefficient of the bi-layer graphene and bulk graphite are -0.015 1/(cm K) and -0.011 1/(cm K), respectively.
