Book Thermal Resistance of Graphene Based Device

Download or read book Thermal Resistance of Graphene Based Device written by Roisul Hasan Galib and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermal transport in low dimensional materials play a critical role in the functionality and reliability of modern electronics. In 2D material based device, interface between 2D materials and substrates often limit the heat flow through the device. This thesis discusses the experimental measurements and theoretical modeling of thermal resistances at 2D material based device. First, we measure thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of bulk substrate by three-omega method. Next, we model the interfacial thermal resistance between the 2D material and substrates with the aid of phonon mismatch modelling. Finally, we quantify the total thermal resistance of a graphene based device by series resistance model. Our analysis shows majority of the resistance comes from the interfaces, and material's intrinsic resistance becomes less significant at nanoscale. We find that the thermal resistance at the interface of graphene and substrate contributes to more than 50% of the total resistance. We attribute this high resistance at interface to weak Van der Waals interactions at the interface and dissimilar phonon vibrational properties of the materials. Our results suggest that increasing bond strength at the interface is an effective way to reduce the overall thermal resistance of the device. We compare our results with commonly used materials and interfaces, demonstrating the role of interface as potential application for heat guide or block in 2D material based device. This study will provide guide into the energy-efficient design and thermal management of 2D material devices.

Book A First principles Investigation of the Transition Between Two  and Three dimensional Thermal Transport in Graphene and Graphite

Download or read book A First principles Investigation of the Transition Between Two and Three dimensional Thermal Transport in Graphene and Graphite written by Patrick Strongman and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two-dimensional materials have become a popular research area over the past two decades because of their unique physical properties. The low dimensionality of these materials leads to interesting, and useful, transport properties such as thickness-dependent band gaps and high electrical and thermal conductivity. These materials have applications in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and thermoelectric energy generation, the performance of which depends sensitively on understanding and controlling how heat transport occurs. Most low dimensional materials can be derived by isolating them from their bulk counterparts, which are often comprised of stacks of the two-dimensional layers that are weakly bound together. These layered bulk materials often maintain some of the two-dimensional characteristics of their monolayer form because of the weak interlayer bonds. One common example of such a "quasi-2D" material is graphite, which is made of layered carbon sheets, i.e. graphene. When going from graphite to graphene the room-temperature in-plane thermal conductivity varies from approx. 2000 W/m K to 5800 W/m K, respectively. Both values are exceptionally high, but there is still a large difference between the two. Nevertheless, the majority of studies focus either on the bulk or low-dimensional versions of materials, with little focus on how the transition from 3D to 2D influences the microscopic properties and transport characteristics. The purpose of this study was to explain how the thermal transport properties of layered materials transition between two and three dimensions. Graphene and graphite were used as simple materials to model this transition. The thermal transport properties were calculated from first-principles using density functional theory (DFT) and iterative solutions to the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE). The transition between two and three dimensions was modelled by systematically moving the layers of graphite apart from each other until they were essentially isolated graphene sheets. The converged $\kappa$ values of the limiting cases of graphite and graphene agree with experimental measurements and previous calculations, with the stretched cases showing a monotonically increasing thermal conductivity from $\kappa_{\text{graphite}}$ to $\kappa_{\text{graphene}}$. Surprisingly, the largest variation in the thermal transport properties resulted from changes in the phonon dispersion. This is contrary to the previous belief that the difference in $\kappa$ resulted from certain three-phonon selection rules in graphene, which reduce the scattering probability, and do not apply to graphite. The selection rules appear to mostly still apply to graphite and the stretched graphite cases, indicating that the primary mechanism resulting in the differences between $\kappa_{\text{graphene}}$ and $\kappa_{\text{graphite}}$ was the shape of the phonon dispersion, and a corresponding shift in the phonon DOS. This type of analysis could be applied to other layered materials in the future to identify materials with the potential to be exceptional thermal conductors.

Book Graphene and other Two dimensional Materials in Nanoelectronics and Optoelectronics

Download or read book Graphene and other Two dimensional Materials in Nanoelectronics and Optoelectronics written by Jie Sun and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graphene is probably the most fascinating material discovered in this century. A group of 2D materials can be called graphene derivatives, and these have attracted tremendous interest. This includes materials that are one or a few atoms thick. They have outstanding optical/electrical properties, and, most importantly, they are flat and thin—they can be processed with existing semiconductor technologies. Therefore, they have great potential in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics, playing a revolutionary role in these fields via their integration with other bulk materials. Of course, there are still challenges, such as large-scale production, as well as the mechanical transfer of these atomically thin sheets. These are the fields where scientists are now actively doing research. In this book, some leading scientists in the area share their most recent results on the material growth, device physics/processing, and system integration of 2D materials and devices. This book can serve as a starting point for young students to get familiar with the field, and should also be valuable to established device physicists and engineers who would like to explore the potential applications of 2D materials in electronics.

Book Nanoscale Investigations of Thermal and Momentum Transport in Graphene   Water Systems

Download or read book Nanoscale Investigations of Thermal and Momentum Transport in Graphene Water Systems written by Drew Champion Marable and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demand for miniaturized electronic devices has given rise to new challenges in thermal management. Integration with graphene, a two-dimensional (2D) material with excellent thermal properties, allows for further reduced sizes and combats thermal management issues within novel devices. Moreover, due to its wide availability and adequate thermal properties, liquid water is commonly used within traditional thermal systems to enhance cooling performance; as such, water is expected to yield similar performance in smaller-scale applications. However, at reduced sizes descending to the nanoscale realm, system behaviors deviate from traditional macroscale-based theory as interfacial effects become amplified. Employing insight provided by molecular dynamics simulations, this thesis investigates momentum and thermal transport characteristics, stemming from interfacial interactions, of graphene/water systems to unravel their nanoscale contributions on system-wide thermal performance. The convective heat transfer process for a laminar flow of liquid water in graphene nanochannels is emphasized as a joint assessment of momentum and thermal transport, with understandings obtained from initial investigations. In preliminary momentum transport analysis, wettability assessments identified graphene/water system behavior as highly dependent on interfacial surface interactions. Extension to flow simulations further revealed that surface interactions significantly impact momentum transport of flowing water behavior and slip development; attributing to the anatomically smooth nature of 2D graphene, slip flow is observed even in cases of extreme hydrophilicity. In thermal transport assessments, increasing surface interactions are shown to enhance heat transfer due to decreased interfacial thermal resistance. In convection heat transfer analysis, momentum and thermal transport are found to be strongly correlated; however, thermal transport was determined to be more influential on resultant system characteristics than momentum transport. Additionally, system size dependence on momentum and thermal transport is observed, with convective performance suggested as the ratio of thermal slip length to system size. Findings presented in this thesis are expected to enhance knowledge of the physics behind solid/liquid interfacial phenomena and establish more accurate descriptions of nanoscale momentum and thermal transport. Although constrained by limited dimensional/time scales, this work is anticipated to aid in laying the ground work for understanding nanoscale thermal characteristics, with aim at developing novel thermal systems.

Book Thermal Conduction in Graphene and Graphene Multilayers

Download or read book Thermal Conduction in Graphene and Graphene Multilayers written by Suchismita Ghosh and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been increasing interest in thermal conductivity of materials motivated by the heat removal issues in electronics and by the need of fundamental science to understand heat conduction at nanoscale [1, 2, 3]. This dissertation reports the results of the experimental investigation of heat conduction in graphene and graphene multilayers. Graphene is a planar single sheet of sp 2 -bonded carbon atoms arranged in honeycomb lattice. It reveals many unique properties, including the extraordinarily high carrier mobility. In order to measure the thermal conductivity of graphene we developed an original non-contact technique based on micro-Raman spectroscopy. The samples for this study were prepared by mechanical exfoliation and suspended across trenches in Si/SiO 2 substrates. The number of atomic planes was determined by deconvolution of the Raman 2D band. The suspended graphene flakes attached to the heat sinks were heated by the laser light focused in the middle. The Raman G peak's temperature sensitivity allowed us to monitor the local temperature change produced by the variation of the excitation laser power. A special calibration procedure was developed to determine the fraction of power absorbed by graphene. Our measurements revealed that single-layer graphene has an extremely high room-temperature thermal conductivity in the range 3800-5300 W/mK depending on the flake size and quality. It was also found that most of the heat near room temperature is transferred by acoustic phonons rather than electrons. Theoretical studies of the phonon thermal conduction in graphene, which included detail treatment of the Umklapp scattering, are in agreement with our experiments. The measurements were also extended to few-layer graphene. It was shown that the thermal conductivity reduces with the increasing number of layers approaching the bulk graphite limit. To validate the measurement technique we investigated the thermal conductivity of the polycrystalline graphene films and reduced graphene oxide films deposited on polyethylene terephthalate substrates. In this case we obtained much smaller values of thermal conductivity, which was explained by the strong acoustic phonon scattering on the grain boundaries. Obtained results are important for electronic applications of graphene and may lead to new methods of thermal management of nanoelectronic chips.
