Thermal conductivity of graphene nanoribbons

Zhi‐Xin Guo, Dier Zhang, Xin-Gao Gong

📄 Abstract

We have investigated the thermal conductivity of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with different edge shapes as a function of length, width, and strain using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method. The initial GNR for the functional variations has dimensions of 2×11 nm2. Strong length dependence of thermal conductivity is obtained, indicating high thermal conductivities of GNRs, which is consistent with the experimental results for graphene. A tensile/compressive uniaxial strain can remarkably decrease the thermal conductivity of GNR.
