Graphene, a 2D material, has motivated significant research in the study of its in-plane charge carrier transport in order to understand and exploit its unique physical and electrical properties. The vertical graphene-semiconductor system, however, also presents opportunities for unique devices, yet there have been few attempts to understand the properties of carrier transport through the graphene sheet into an underlying substrate. In this work, we investigate the epitaxial graphene/4H-SiC system, studying both p and n-type SiC substrates with varying doping levels in order to better understand this vertical heterojunction.

The original formulation of the quasi-3D sinusoidal shear deformation plate theory (SSDPT) is here extended to the wave propagation analysis of viscoelastic sandwich nanoplates considering surface effects. The sandwich structure contains a single layered graphene sheet as core integrated with zinc oxide layers as sensors and actuators. The single layered graphene sheet and zinc oxide layers are subjected, respectively, to 2D magnetic and 3D electric fields. Structural damping and surface effects are assumed using Kelvin–Voigt and Gurtin–Murdoch theories, respectively. The system is rested on an elastic medium which is simulated with a novel model namely as orthotropic visco-Pasternak foundation. An exact solution is applied in order to obtain the frequency, cut-off and escape frequencies. A displacement and velocity feedback control algorithm is applied for the active control of the frequency through a closed-loop control with bonded distributed zinc oxide sensors and actuators. The detailed parametric study is conducted, focusing on the combined effects of the nonlocal parameter, magnetic field, viscoelastic foundation, surface stress, applied voltage, velocity feedback control gain and structural damping on the wave propagation behavior of nanostructure. Results depict that with increasing the structural damping coefficient, frequency significantly decreases.

Mn3O4nanoparticle/graphene sheet (GM) composites were synthesized via a one-pot and low-cost solvothermal process in an ethanol solution. The as-prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Results showed that the nanosized Mn3O4particles had tetragonal hausmannite structure and were successfully loaded on the graphene sheets. Moreover, the electrochemical performances of GM composites produced by different mass percents of Mn2+/graphite oxide (GO) were evaluated by means of cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge studies. The composite prepared with Mn2+/GO mass percent of 10 : 90 showed a high specific capacitance of 245 F/g at 5 mV/s in the 6 M KOH solution and better long-term stability along with 81% of its initial capacitance after 1200 cycles at 0.5 A/g.

The objective of this paper is to develop constitutive models to predict thermoelastic properties of carbon single-walled nanotubes using analytical, asymptotic homogenization, and numerical, finite element analysis, methods. In our approach, the graphene sheet is considered as a non-homogeneous network shell layer which has zero material properties in the regions of perforation and whose effective properties are estimated from the solution of the appropriate local problems set on the unit cell of the layer. Our goal is to derive working formulas for the entire complex of the thermoelastic properties of the periodic network. The effective thermoelastic properties of carbon nanotubes were predicted using asymptotic homogenization method. Moreover, in order to verify the results of analytical predictions, a detailed finite element analysis is followed to investigate the thermoelastic response of the unit cells and the entire graphene sheet network.
