Electronic Thermal Conductivity Measurements in Intrinsic Graphene

Abstract

The electronic thermal conductivity of graphene and 2D Dirac materials is of fundamental interest and can play an important role in the performance of nano-scale devices. We report the electronic thermal conductivity, $K_e$, in suspended graphene in the nearly intrinsic regime over a temperature range of 20 to 300 K. We present a method to extract $K_e$ using two-point DC electron transport at low bias voltages, where the electron and lattice temperatures are decoupled. We find $K_e$ ranging from 0.5 to 11 W/m.K over the studied temperature range. The data are consistent with a model in which heat is carried by quasiparticles with the same mean free-path and velocity as graphene's charge carriers.
