Conductance through Nanometer-scale Metal-to-Graphite Contacts

The metal/graphite interface is interesting due to the typically large disparity in the characteristics of the electronic structure (e.g. Fermi wavelength and Fermi energy) and dimensionality (3D in the metal versus quasi-2D in graphite). The goal of this work is to determine how the contact conduc...
