Research Interests

Current research interests focus mainly on finding out what the electronic conduction mechanisms are in different types of novel material, particularly those with nanoscale dimensions. The materials we investigate include:

• Graphene: we are investigating the conductance and related properties of graphene (sheets of carbon with thickness of only one atom) in collaboration with German experimentalists.
• Carbon nanotubes: we are investigating the properties of thin transparent films of carbon nanotubes, and how conduction is modified by different treatments.
