Manipulate Interface Thermal Conductance of Metal-Graphene-Substrate Using Graphene Thermal Stability

Abstract： Graphene defects have played an important role in graphene's electrical, optical and thermal properties. In this work, we measured the interface thermal conductance of Al/graphene with different defect situations/silica using transient thermoreflectance technique. We use the graphene thermal stability of being annealed in different temperatures to manipulate the graphene defects. The transient thermoreflectance technique measurement results suggest that as graphene defects increase, the interface thermal conductance increases as well. The cause of the interface thermal conductance increase might be the graphene disintegration which starts from graphene imperfection rings and the oxygen doping which will enhance the metal-graphene bonding energy.
