Drop of Thermal Contacts Resistance between Multi-Layer Graphene and Metals caused by Laser

Significant drop of thermal contact resistance between a graphene flake and metal electrodes was shown as a re sult of laser annealing. The improvement of thermal contacts of initially rough metal electrodes is attributed to local melting of the metal surface caused by laser heating followed by increasing of real metal-graphene contact area.
