Tunable thermal rectification in graphene nanoribbons through defect engineering: A molecular dynamics study
Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics, we show that asymmetrically defected graphene nanoribbons (GNR) are promising thermal rectifiers. The optimum conditions for thermal rectification (TR) include low temperature, high temperature bias, 1% concentration of single-vacancy or substitutional silicon defects, and a moderate partition of the pristine and defected regions. TR ratio of 80% is fou...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Study of Thermal Rectification in Graphene Nanoribbons
Classical molecular dynamics based on the Brenner potential and Nosé– Hoover thermostat has been used to study the thermal conductivity and thermal rectification (TR) of graphene nanoribbons. An appreciable TR effect in triangular and trapezoidal nanoribbons was found. The TR factor is over 20 % even for 23 nm long monolayer triangular nanoribbons. The TR in graphene nanoribbons may enable nove...
متن کاملThermal 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 approximately 4 nm wide and approximately 10 nm long). For symmetric nanoribbons, the calculated thermal conductivity (e.g., approximately 2000 W/m-K at 400 K for a 1.5 nm x 5.7 nm zigzag GNR) is on the similar order of magnitude of t...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics
Statistical mechanics provides a well-established link between microscopic equilibrium states and thermodynamics. If one considers systems out of equilibrium, the link between microscopic dynamical properties and nonequilibrium macroscopic states is more difficult to establish [1,2]. For systems lying near equilibrium, linear response theory provides a route to derive linear macroscopic laws an...
متن کاملGeometry and temperature dependent thermal conductivity of diamond nanowires A non-equilibrium molecular dynamics study
Using non-equilibriummolecular dynamics methods, the analysis of geometry and temperature dependent thermal conductivities of diamond nanowires is carried out. It is found that at the same temperature conditions, thermal conductivities of diamond nanowires increase with increasing lengths, ranging from 20 to 350 nm and cross-sectional areas ranging from 2 to 30 nm. At the same length, temperatu...
