We find G ~ 25 MW m-2 K-1 at room temperature, four times smaller than the thermal conductance of a Au/Ti/SiO2 interface, even when n = 1. We attribute this reduction to the thermal resistance of Au/Ti/graphene and graphene/SiO2 interfaces acting in series. The temperature dependence of G from 50 < T < 500 K also indicates that heat is predominantly carried by phonons through these interfaces. Our findings indicate that metal contacts can limit not only electrical transport, but also thermal dissipation from sub-micron graphene devices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-09-29T02:54:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heat conduction", "few-layer graphenes", "thermal conductance", "graphene transistor contacts", "sub-micron graphene devices" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Nano Letters", "year": 2010, "month": "Nov", "volume": 10, "number": 11, "pages": 4363 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010NanoL..10.4363K" } } }
