Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Rectification in Graphene Nanoribbons: A Molecular Dynamics Study
We have used molecular dynamics to calculate the thermal conductivity of symmetric and asymmetric graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) of several nanometers in size (up to ∼4 nm wide and ∼10 nm long). For symmetric nanoribbons, the calculated thermal conductivity (e.g., ∼2000 W/m-K at 400 K for a 1.5 nm × 5.7 …
