This paper investigates the use of Graphene (Gr) as an electrical contact material for the application of microrelays. Gr is an ideal material for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). A microrelay has been considered and electrothermal analysis is carried o...
