摘要
We established a calculation model of the conductivity of multilayer graphene based on Boltzmann transport equation and 2D electron gas theory. Numerical simulations show that the conductivities of few-layer graphene and graphene nanosheets are reduced when thickness is increased. The reduction rate decreases for micron-range thicknesses and remains constant thereafter. Moreover, the conductivity increases with the increase in temperature, in which the increase rate declines as temperature increases. Higher thickness exhibits a more obvious temperature effect on conductivity. Such effect also increases with the increase in temperature. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
