The effect of Coulomb scattering on graphene conductivity in field effect transistor structures is discussed. Inter-particle scattering (electron-electron, hole-hole, and electron-hole) and scattering on charged defects are taken into account in a wide range of gate voltages. It is shown that an intrinsic conductivity of graphene (purely ambipolar system where both electron and hole densities exactly coincide) is defined by strong electron-hole scattering. It has a universal value independent of temperature. We give an explicit derivation based on scaling theory. When there is even a small discrepancy in electron and hole densities caused by applied gate voltage the conductivity is determined by both strong electron-hole scattering and weak external scattering: on defects or phonons. We suggest that a density of charged defects (occupancy of defects) depends on Fermi energy to explain a sub-linear dependence of conductivity on a fairly high gate voltage observed in experiments. We also eliminate contradictions between experimental data obtained in deposited and suspended graphene structures regarding graphene conductivity.
In the recent paper [arXiv:0802.2216, 15 Feb 2008], Kashuba argued that the intrinsic conductivity of graphene independent of temperature originated in strong electron-hole scattering. We propose a much more explicit derivation based on a scaling theory approach. We also give an explanation of a rapid increase in graphene conductivity caused by applied gate voltage.
Utilizing a complete Lorentz-covariant and local-gauge-invariant formulation, we discuss graphene response to arbitrary external electric field. The relation, which is called as Kramers-Kr(\ddot{o})nig relation in the paper, between imaginary part and real part of ac conductivity is given. We point out there exists an ambiguity in the conductivity computing, attributed to the wick behavior at ultraviolet vicinity. We argue that to study electrical response of graphene completely, non-perturbational contribution should be considered.
Using a novel structure, consisting of two, independently contacted graphene single layers separated by an ultra-thin dielectric, we experimentally measure the Coulomb drag of massless fermions in graphene. At temperatures higher than 50 K, the Coulomb drag follows a temperature and carrier density dependence consistent with the Fermi liquid regime. As the temperature is reduced, the Coulomb drag exhibits giant fluctuations with an increasing amplitude, thanks to the interplay between coherent transport in the graphene layer and interaction between the two layers.
We argue that the unscreened Coulomb interaction in graphene provides a positive, universal, and logarithmic correction to scaling of zero-temperature conductivity with frequency. The combined effect of the disorder due to wrinkling of the graphene sheet and the long range electron-electron interactions is a finite positive contribution to the dc conductivity. This contribution is disorder strength dependent and thus non-universal. The low-energy behavior of such a system is governed by the line of fixed points at which both the interaction and disorder are finite, and the density of states is…
We present a theoretical study of the optical conductivity of graphene with magnetic and nonmagnetic adatoms. First, by introducing alternating potential in a pure graphene, we demonstrate a gap formation in the density of states and the corresponding optical conductivity. We highlight the distinction between such a gap formation and the so-called Pauli blocking effect. Next, we apply this idea to graphene with adatoms by introducing magnetic interactions between the carrier spins and the spins of the adatoms. Exploring various possible ground-state spin configurations of the adatoms, we find …
We address the optical conductivity of undoped bilayer graphene in the presence of a finite bias voltage at finite temperature. The effects of gap parameter and stacking type on optical conductivity are discussed in the context of tight binding model Hamiltonian. Green's function approach has been implemented to find the behavior of optical conductivity of bilayer graphene within linear response theory. We have found the frequency dependence of optical conductivity for different values of gap parameter and bias voltage. Also the dependence of optical conductivity on the temperature has been in…
We have investigated the Coulomb screening properties and collective excitations in a graphene bilayer. The static screening effect is anisotropic and is much stronger in the undoped graphene bilayer than in a monolayer graphene [1]. The dynamic screening shows the properties of a Dirac gas in the low frequency and that of a Fermi gas in the high frequency. The transition from the Dirac to the Fermi gas is also observed in the plasmon spectrum. Finally, we find that an electron gas in a doped graphene bilayer has quite similar properties as those of a Fermi gas in materials containing two ener…
The strong Coulomb interaction between massless Dirac fermions can drive a semimetal-insulator transition in single-layer graphene by dynamically generating an excitonic fermion gap. There is a critical interaction strength $λ_c$ that separates the semimetal phase from the insulator phase. We calculate the specific heat and susceptibility of the system and show that they exhibit distinct behaviors in the semimetal and insulator phases.
When a bilayer of graphene is placed in a suitably configured field effect device, an asymmetry gap can be generated and the carrier concentration made different in each layer. This provides a tunable semiconducting gap, and the valence and the conductance band no longer meet at the two Dirac points of the graphene Brillouin zone. We calculate the optical conductivity of such a semiconductor with particular emphasis on the optical spectral weight redistribution brought about by changes in gap and chemical potential due to charging. We derive an algebraic formula for arbitrary value of the chem…
We study interacting Dirac quasiparticles in disordered graphene and find that an interplay between the unscreened Coulomb interactions and pseudo-relativistic quasiparticle kinematics can be best revealed in the ballistic regime, whereas in the diffusive limit the behavior is qualitatively (albeit, not quantitatively) similar to that of the ordinary 2DEG with parabolic dispersion. We calculate the quasiparticle width and density of states that can be probed by photoemission, tunneling, and magnetization measurements.
Landau level quantization in graphene reflects the Dirac nature of its quasiparticles and has been found to exhibit an unusual integer quantum Hall effect. In particular the lowest Landau level can be thought as shared equally by electrons and holes and this leads to characteristic behaviour of the magneto-optical conductivity as a function of frequency $Ω$ for various values of the chemical potential $μ$. Particular attention is paid to the optical spectral weight under various absorption peaks and its redistribution as $μ$ is varied. We also provide results for magnetic field $B$ as well as …
We report on Coulomb blockade and Coulomb diamond measurements on an etched, tunable single-layer graphene quantum dot. The device consisting of a graphene island connected via two narrow graphene constrictions is fully tunable by three lateral graphene gates. Coulomb blockade resonances are observed and from Coulomb diamond measurements a charging energy of ~3.5 meV is extracted. For increasing temperatures we detect a peak broadening and a transmission increase of the nanostructured graphene barriers.
We show that Coulomb drag in ultra-clean graphene double layers can be used for controlling the on/off ratio for current flow by tunning the external gate voltage. Hence, although graphene remains semi-metallic, the double layer graphene system can be tuned from conductive to a highly resistive state. We show that our results explain previous data of Coulomb drag in double layer graphene samples in disordered SiO2 substrates.
The thermal conductivity of graphene nanoribbons (layer from 1 to 8 atomic planes) is investigated by using the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method. We present that the room-temperature thermal conductivity decays monotonically with the number of the layers in few-layer graphene. The superiority of zigzag graphene in thermal conductivity is only available in high temperature region and disappears in multi-layer case. It is explained that the phonon spectral shrink in high frequency induces the change of thermal conductivity. It is also reported that single-layer graphene has better ballis…
We consider the tight-binding approximation for the description of energy bands of graphene, together with the standard Boltzmann's transport equation and constant relaxation time, an expression for the conductivity was obtained. We predicted strong nonlinear effects in graphene which may be useful for high frequency generation.
The analysis of Current-voltage characteristic and Ampere-Gauss characteristic for graphene with Hubbard interaction was carried out depending on frequency of external variable field and magnetic field. The regions of the absolute negative conductivity were found.
Transport properties of irradiated graphene (electrical conductivity and mobility) are numerically investigated using the real-space Kubo formalism. A micrometer-sized system consisting of millions of atoms with nanopores of various sizes and concentrations is described. Electrical conductivity and mobility as a function of carrier (hole) density are calculated to provide possible comparisons with experiments.
Disordered Fermi-Dirac distributions are used to model, within a straightforward and essentially phenomenological Boltzmann equation approach, the electron/hole transport across graphene puddles. We establish, with striking experimental support, a functional relationship between the graphene minimum conductivity, the mobility in the Boltzmann regime, and the steepness of the conductivity parabolic profile usually observed through gate-voltage scanning around the charge neutral point.
To obtain an effective many-body model of graphene and related materials from first principles we calculate the partially screened frequency dependent Coulomb interaction. In graphene, the effective on-site (Hubbard) interaction is U_00 = 9.3 eV in close vicinity to the critical value separating conducting graphene from an insulating phase emphasizing the importance of non-local Coulomb terms. The nearest-neighbor Coulomb interaction strength is computed to U_01 = 5.5 eV. In the long wavelength limit, we find the effective background dielectric constant of graphite to be ε= 2.5 in very good ag…
Using the Landauer formula approach, it is proven that minimal conductivity of order of $e^{2}/h$ found experimentally in bilayer graphene is its intrinsic property. For the case of ideal crystals, the conductivity turns our to be equal to $e^{2}/2h$ per valley per spin. A zero-temperature shot noise in bilayer graphene is considered and the Fano factor is calculated. Its value $1-2/π$ is close to the value 1/3 found earlier for the single-layer graphene.
We study thermal transport in folded graphene nanoribbons using molecular dynamics simulations and the non-equilibrium Green's function method. It is found that the thermal conductivity of flat graphene nanoribbons can be modulated by folding and changing interlayer couplings. The analysis of transmission reveals that the reduction of thermal conductivity is due to scattering of low frequency phonons by the folds. Our results suggest that folding can be utilized in the modulation of thermal transport properties in graphene and other two dimensional materials.
Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics method(NEMD), we have found that the thermal conductivity of multilayer graphene nanoribbons monotonously decreases with the increase of the number of layers, such behavior can be attributed to the phonon resonance effect of out-of-plane phonon modes. The reduction of thermal conductivity is found to be proportional to the layer size, which is caused by the increase of phonon resonance. Our results are in agreement with recent experiment on dimensional evolution of thermal conductivity in few layer graphene.
In this study, the Optical conductivity of substitutionary doped graphene is investigated in presence of the Rashba spin orbit coupling (RSOC). Calculations have been performed within the coherent potential approximation (CPA) beyond the Dirac cone approximation. Results of the current study demonstrate that the optical conductivity is increased by increasing the RSOC strength. Meanwhile it was observed that the anisotropy of the band energy results in a considerable anisotropic optical conductivity (AOC) in monolayer graphene. The sign and magnitude of this anisotropic conductivity was shown …
The minimum conductivity value as well as the linear dependence of conductivity on the charge density near the Dirac point in single and doublelayer graphene is derived from the energy-time uncertainty principle applied to ballistic charge carriers.
Generation of high harmonics in a monolayer graphene initiated by strong coherent radiation field, taking into account electron-electron Coulomb interaction is investigated. A microscopic theory describing the nonlinear optical response of graphene is developed. The Coulomb interaction of electrons is treated in the scope of dynamic Hartree-Fock approximation. The closed set of integrodifferential equations for the single-particle density matrix of a graphene quantum structure is solved numerically. The obtained solutions show the significance of many-body Coulomb interaction on the high harmo…
We address the tunneling current in a graphene-hBN-graphene heterostructure as function of the twisting between the crystals. The twisting induces a modulation of the hopping amplitude between the graphene layers, that provides the extra momentum necessary to satisfy momentum and energy conservation and to activate coherent tunneling between the graphene electrodes. Conservation rules limit the tunneling to states with wavevectors lying at the conic curves defined by the intersection of two Dirac cones shifted in momentum and energy. There is a critical voltage where the intersection is a stra…
Conductivity of monolayer and two-layer graphene is considered with due regard for mutual drag of band electrons and holes. Search of contribution of the drag in conductivity shows that this effect can sufficiently influence on mobility of carriers, which belong to different groups and have different drift velocities. In two-layer system the mutual drag can even change the di-rection of partial current in separate layer.
Using the linearized Boltzmann transport equation and perturbation theory, we analyze the reduction in the intrinsic thermal conductivity of few-layer graphene sheets accounting for all possible three-phonon scattering events. Even with weak coupling between layers, a significant reduction in the thermal conductivity of the out-of-plane acoustic modes is apparent. The main effect of this weak coupling is to open many new three-phonon scattering channels that are otherwise absent in graphene. However, reflection symmetry is only weakly broken with the addition of multiple layers, and ZA phonons…
We theoretically study the population inversion and negative dynamic conductivity in intrinsic graphene in the terahertz (THz) frequency range upon pulse photoexcitation with near-/mid-infrared wavelength. The threshold pulse energy required for the population inversion and negative dynamic conductivity can be orders-of-magnitude lower when the pulse photon energy is lower, due to the inverse proportionality of the photoexcited carrier concentration to the pulse photon energy and to the weaker carrier heating. We also investigate the dependence of the dynamic conductivity on the momentum relax…
The thermal conductivity of doped graphene flake of finite size is investigated with emphasis on the influence of mass of substituting atoms on this property. It is shown that the graphene doping by small concentrations of relatively heavy atoms results in a disproportionately impressive drop of lattice thermal conductivity.
We study the conductance spectrum of graphene quantum dots, both single and multiple cases. The single electron tunneling phenomenon is investigated and the periodicity, amplitude and line shape of the Coulomb blockade oscillations at low temperatures are obtained. Further, we discuss the transport behavior when multiple dots are assembled in array and find a phase transition of conductance spectra from individual Coulomb blockade to collective Coulomb blockade.
We demonstrate that forward electron-electron scattering due to Coulomb interation in a two-dimensional ballistic electron gas leads to the (T\ln {T})^{-1} temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity, which is logarithmically suppressed compared to the usual Fermi liquid behaviour.
We study the Coulomb drag transresistivity between graphene layers employing the finite temperature density response function. We analyze the Coulomb coupling between the two layers and show that a universal scaling behavior, independent of the interlayer distance can be deduced. We argue that this universal behavior may be experimentally observable in a system of two carbon nanotubes of large radius.
We develop the theory of heat conductivity in supported graphene, accounting for coherent phonon scattering on disorder induced by an amorphous substrate. We derive spectra for in-plane and out-of-plane phonons in the framework of Green's function approach. The energetic parameters of the theory are obtained using the molecular dynamics simulations for graphene on SiO$_2$ substrate. The heat conductivity is calculated by the Boltzmann transport equation. We find that the interaction with the substrate drastically reduces the phonon lifetime and completely suppresses the contribution of ZA phon…
We analyze numerically the thermal conductivity of carbon nanoribbons with ideal and rough edges. We demonstrate that edge disorder can lead to a suppression of thermal conductivity by several orders of magnitude. This effect is associated with the edge-induced Anderson localization and suppression of the phonon transport, and it becomes more pronounced for longer nanoribbons and low temperatures.
We study the effect of electron-electron interactions in the optical conductivity of graphene under applied bias and derive a generalization of Elliot's formula, commonly used for semiconductors, for the optical intensity. We show that {\it excitonic resonances} are responsible for several features of the experimentally measured mid-infrared response of graphene such as the increase of the conductivity beyond the "universal" value above the Fermi blocked regime, the broadening of the absorption at the threshold, and the decrease of the optical conductivity at higher frequencies. Our results ar…
We present transport measurements on a tunable three-layer graphene single electron transistor (SET). The device consists of an etched three-layer graphene flake with two narrow constrictions separating the island from source and drain contacts. Three lateral graphene gates are used to electrostatically tune the device. An individual three-layer graphene constriction has been investigated separately showing a transport gap near the charge neutrality point. The graphene tunneling barriers show a strongly nonmonotonic coupling as function of gate voltage indicating the presence of localized stat…
We study the effect of disordered ripples on the conductivity of monolayer graphene flakes. We calculate the relaxation times and the Boltzmann conductivities associated with two mechanisms. First, we study the conductivity correction due to an external in-plane magnetic field $B_\parallel$. Due to the irregular local curvature found at graphene sheets deposited over a substrate, $B_\parallel$ can be mapped into an effective random magnetic field perpendicular to the graphene surface. Second, we study the electron momentum relaxation due to intrinsic pseudo magnetic fields originated from defo…
By using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations(NEMD), the modulation on temperature dependence of thermal conductivity of graphene phononic crystals (GPnCs) are investigated. It is found that the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity of GPnCs follows $T^{-α}$ behavior. The power exponents ($α$) can be efficiently tuned by changing the characteristic size of GPnCs. The phonon participation ratio spectra and dispersion relation reveal that the long-range phonon modes are more affected in GPnCs with larger size of holes ($L_0$). Our results suggest that constructing GPnCs is an …
I suggest to use the effect of Coulomb drag between two closely positioned graphite monolayers (graphene sheets) for experimental measurement of the strength of weak non-linearities of the spectrum in graphene. I consider trigonal warping as a representative mechanism responsible for the drag effect. Since graphene is relatively defect-free, I evaluate the drag conductivity in the ballistic regime and find that it is proportional to the fourth power of the warping strength.
We investigate optical transitions of non-interacting electron systems consisting of two symmetric energy bands touching each other at the Fermi energy (e.g. graphene at half filling). Optical conductivity is obtained using Kubo formula at zero temperature. We show that for particles whose pseudospin direction is determined solely by the direction of their momentum, the optical conductivity has power law frequency dependence with the exponent $(d-2)/z$ where $d$ is the dimension of the system and $z$ is the dynamical exponent. According to our result two-dimensional systems with the above pseu…
Graphene has a high intrinsic thermal conductivity and a high electron mobility. The thermal conductivity of graphene can be significantly reduced when different carbon isotopes are mixed, which can enhance the performance of thermoelectric devices. Here we compare the thermal conductivities of isotopic c12/c13 random mixes with isotope superlattices with periods ranging from 46 to 225 nm. Raman Opto-Thermal conductivity measurements of these superlattice structures show an approximately 50% reduction in thermal conductivity compared to pristine c12 graphene. This average reduction is similar …
Synthesis of multilayer graphene on copper wires by a chemical vapor deposition method is reported. 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.
We propose that recent transport experiments revealing the existence of an energy gap in graphene nanoribbons may be understood in terms of Coulomb blockade. Electron interactions play a decisive role at the quantum dots which form due to the presence of necks arising from the roughness of the graphene edge. With the average transmission as the only fitting parameter, our theory shows good agreement with the experimental data.
An exact solution is obtained for the electromagnetic field due to an electric current in the presence of a surface conductivity model of graphene. The graphene is represented by an infinitesimally-thin, local and isotropic two-sided conductivity surface. The field is obtained in terms of dyadic Green's functions represented as Sommerfeld integrals. The solution of plane-wave reflection and transmission is presented, and surface wave propagation along graphene is studied via the poles of the Sommerfeld integrals. For isolated graphene characterized by complex surface conductivity, a proper tra…
We study the effect of SiC substrate on thermal conductivity of epitaxial graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) using the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method. We show that the substrate has strong interaction with single-layer GNRs during the thermal transport, which largely reduces the thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity characteristics of suspended GNRs are well preserved in the second GNR layers of bilayer GNR, which has a weak van der Waals interaction with the underlying structures. The out-of-plane phonon mode is found to play a critical role on the thermal conductivity variation o…
We theoretically reveal a new mechanism of light amplification in graphene under the conditions of interband population inversion. It is enabled by the indirect interband transitions, with the photon emission preceded or followed by the scattering on disorder. The emerging contribution to the optical conductivity, which we call the interband Drude conductivity, appears to be negative for the photon energies below the double quasi-Fermi energy of pumped electrons and holes. We find that for the Gaussian correlated distribution of scattering centers, the real part of the net Drude conductivity (…
Observations of terahertz loss to gain switching in transmission through gates on biased graphene sandwiches are explained by response under electron streaming in graphene. Basing on this consideration the terahertz source is proposed consisting of silicon resonator placed on the sandwich with current flow in graphene. It should provide tunable by bias emission in wide terahertz band. The source is direct terahertz analog of tunable microwave laser demonstrated.
We study the conductivity of a graphene strip taking into account electrostatically-induced charge accumulation on its edges. Using a local dependency of the conductivity on the carrier concentration we find that the electrostatic size effect in doped graphene strip of the width of 0.5 - 3 $% μ$m can result in a significant (about 40%) enhancement of the effective conductivity in comparison to the infinitely wide samples. This effect should be taken into account both in the device simulation as well as for verification of scattering mechanisms in graphene.
We present an analytic calculation of the conductivity of pure graphene as a function of frequency $ω$, wave-vector $k$, and temperature for the range where the energies related to all these parameters are small in comparison with the band parameter $γ=3$ eV. The simple asymptotic expressions are given in various limiting cases. For instance, the conductivity for $kv_{0}\ll T\ll ω$ is equal to $σ(ω, k)=e^{2}/4\hbar $ and independent of the band structure parameters $γ$ and $v_{0}$. Our results are also used to explain the known dependence of the graphite conductivity on temperature and pressur…
We present a theory of the influence of band renormalization and excitonic electron-electron interaction effects on the optical conductivity $σ(ω)$ of doped bilayer graphene. Using the Keldysh formalism, we derive a kinetic equation from which we extract numerical and approximate analytic results for $σ(ω)$. Our calculations reveal a previously unrecognized mechanism which couples the Drude and interband response and renormalizes the plasmon frequency, and suggest that screening must play an essential role in explaining the weakly renormalized conductivity seen in recent experiments.
It has been recently demonstrated experimentally that graphene, or single-layer carbon, is a gapless semiconductor with massless Dirac energy spectrum. A finite conductivity per channel of order of $e^{2}/h$ in the limit of zero temperature and zero charge carrier density is one of the striking features of this system. Here we analyze this peculiarity based on the Kubo and Landauer formulas. The appearance of a finite conductivity without scattering is shown to be a characteristic property of Dirac chiral fermions in two dimensions.
We compute the optical conductivity of graphene beyond the usual Dirac cone approximation, giving results that are valid in the visible region of the conductivity spectrum. The effect of next nearest neighbor hoping is also discussed. Using the full expression for the optical conductivity, the transmission and reflection coefficients are given. We find that even in the optical regime the corrections to the Dirac cone approximation are surprisingly small (a few percent). Our results help in the interpretation of the experimental results reported by Nair {\it et al.} [Science {\bf 320}, 1308 (20…
The gapless energy band spectra make the structures based on graphene and graphene bilayers with the population inversion created by optical or injection pumping to be promising media for the interband terahertz (THz) lasing. However, a strong intraband absorption at THz frequencies still poses a challenge for efficient THz lasing. In this paper, we show that in the pumped graphene bilayer structures, the indirect interband radiative transitions accompanied by scattering of carriers caused by disorder can provide a substantial negative contribution to the THz conductivity (together with the di…
The in-plane DC conductivity of twisted bilayer graphene (TBLG) is calculated using an expansion of the real-space Kubo-Bastin conductivity in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. We investigate within a tight-binding (TB) approach the transport properties as a function of rotation angle, applied perpendicular electric field and vacancy disorder. We find that for high-angle twists, the two layers are effectively decoupled, and the minimum conductivity at the Dirac point corresponds to double the value observed in monolayer graphene. This remains valid even in the presence of vacancies, hinting that…
We observe conductivity oscillations with aperiodic spacing to only one side of the tunneling current in a dual-gated graphene field effect transistor with an n-p-n type potential barrier. The spacing and width of these oscillatoins were found to be inconsistent with pure Farbry-Perot-type interferences, but are in quantitative agreement with theoretical predictions that attribute them to resonant tunneling through quasi-bound impurity states. This observation may be understood as another signature of Klein tunneling in graphene heterojunctions and is of importance for future development and m…
We have calculated the optical conductivity of a disorder-free single graphene sheet in the presence of spin-orbit coupling, using the Kubo formalism. Both intrinsic and structural-inversion-asymmetry induced types of spin splitting are considered within a low-energy continuum theory. Analytical results are obtained that allow us to identify distinct features arising from spin-orbit couplings. We point out how optical-conductivity measurements could offer a way to determine the strengths of spin splitting due to various origins in graphene.
Graphene has been proposed as a promising material for future nanoelectronics because of its unique electronic properties. Understanding the scaling behavior of this new nanomaterial under common experimental conditions is of critical importance for developing graphene-based nanoscale devices. We present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study on the influence of edge disorder and bulk disorder on the minimum conductivity of graphene ribbons. For the first time, we discovered a strong non-monotonic size scaling behavior featuring a peak and saturation minimum conductivity. Through e…
Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics is used to investigate the heat current due to the atomic lattice vibrations in graphene nanoribbons and nanorings under a thermal gradient. We consider a wide range of temperature, nanoribbon widths up to 6nm and the effect of moderate edge disorder. We find that narrow graphene nanorings can efficiently suppress the lattice thermal conductivity at low temperatures (~100K), as compared to nanoribbons of the same width. Remarkably, rough edges do not appear to have a large impact on lattice energy transport through graphene nanorings while nanoribbons seem mo…
