[Characterization of carbon materials by means of phonons and electrons]

Characterization of carbon materials by means of phonons and electrons This paper showns in how the measurement of the temperature variation of the thermal and electrical conductivities was successfully used as global tools to characterize carbonaceous materials. The temperature variation of the lattice thermal conductivity allows to compute directly the in-plane coherence length as well as the density of point defects and the shear modulus. The zero-field resistivity, which is very sensitive to the presence of lattice defects at low temperature, allows to compare samples of different structural perfections.
