Copper-graphene composites show remarkable electrical performance surpassing
traditional copper conductors albeit at a micron scale; there are several challenges in …

The electronic and transport properties of aluminum-graphene composite materials were
investigated using the ab initio plane wave density functional theory. The interfacial structure …

Rapid urbanization and industrialization made China the world's largest refined copper
producer and consumer. Insufficient copper ore reserves necessitated significant imports …

The size and grain conformality of the metallurgical precursor powder significantly affect the
comprehensive properties of metal matrix composites. To address this challenge …

This paper explores the transport properties of aluminum-carbon composite material via ab
initio methods. Interfacial and elec-tronic dynamics of the aluminum-graphene interface …

This study describes computer simulations of carbonization and graphite formation,
including the effects of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. We introduce a novel …

This study focuses on the construction of small-scale atomistic representations of three
Appalachian coals of different ranks–high volatile bituminous, low volatile bituminous, and …

This work focuses on the structure and electronic transport in atomistic models of silicon
suboxides (a-SiO x; x= 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7) used in the fabrication of a Physical Unclonable …

In a complex nanostructured material or composite, the thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT (T),
is strongly dependent on the morphology and transport properties of interfacial areas that …

The introduction of defects in graphene will affect the mechanical and electrical properties of
the composite interface. We investigate the effect of Stone–Wales (SW), single-vacancy …
