  This paper explores the transport properties of aluminum-carbon composite
material via ab initio methods. Interfacial and electronic dynamics of the
aluminum-graphene interface structure were investigated using models of
amorphous graphene added to an aluminum matrix. We examine the impact on
electronic conduction caused by the presence of nitrogen impurities within the
interfacial amorphous graphene layer. We elucidate the conduction mechanisms by
using a projection of the conductivity into space.
