| Abstract Scope |
Experimental research shows that the addition of graphene aids in the electronic transport of FCC metals. Here, we explore sp2 carbon with topological disorder (amorphous graphene) and “coal impurities” (O, N, S, H) and discuss their electronic and transport properties [1,2, 3]. Employing interface models integrating single and multilayer amorphous graphene with coal impurities in FCC copper, we analyze the influence of disorder and impurity atoms on interface dynamics and conduction in coal-based copper composites. |
