17. 2 layer is transparent to IR. Hence, the detected IR radiation is a combination of thermal signals from the graphene and from the Si substrate heated by the graphene. By numerical calculations, we find the real graphene temperature rise (Δ T) is proportional to that measured by the IR microscope and is approximately three times higher (see Supporting Information).

21. Temperature effects on mobility and velocity saturation are neglected here; mobility was found to be relatively independent of temperature in this range, presumably being limited by impurity scattering.
