Electronic conduction in copper-graphene composites with functional impurities
Kishor Nepal, Ridwan Hussein, Yahya Al-Majali +1
Coal-derived graphene-like material and its addition to FCC copper are investigated using ab initio plane wave density functional theory (DFT). We explore ring disorder in the sp2…
Site-projected Thermal Conductivity: Application to defects, interfaces, and homogeneously disordered materials
A. Gautam, Y. G. Lee, C. Ugwumadu +3
With the rapid advance of high-performance computing and electronic technologies, understanding thermal conductivity in materials has become increasingly important. This study pres…
Physical origin of enhanced electrical conduction in aluminum-graphene composites
K. Nepal, C. Ugwumadu, K. N. Subedi +2
The electronic and transport properties of aluminum-graphene composite materials were investigated using ab initio plane wave density functional theory. The interfacial structure i…
Computer Simulation of Carbonization and Graphitization of Coal
C. Ugwumadu, R. Olson, N. L. Smith +4
This study describes computer simulations of carbonization and graphite formation, including the effects of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. We introduce a novel technique t…
