Direct nanoscale imaging of ballistic and diffusive thermal transport in graphene nanostructures.

چکیده
We report direct imaging of nanoscale thermal transport in single and few-layer graphene with approximately 50 nm lateral resolution using high vacuum scanning thermal microscopy. We observed increased heat transport in suspended graphene where heat is conducted by ballistic phonons, compared to adjacent areas of supported graphene, and observed decreasing thermal conductance of supported graphene with increased layer number. Our nanothermal images suggest a mean-free-path of thermal phonons in supported graphene below 100 nm.

Fourier theory of thermal transport considers heat transport as a diffusive process where energy flow is driven by a temperature gradient. However, this is not valid at length scales smaller than the mean free path for the energy carriers in a material, which can be hundreds of nanometres in crystalline materials at room temperature. In this case, heat flow will become 'ballistic'--driven by di...

متن کاملBallistic phonon transport in holey silicon.
When the size of semiconductors is smaller than the phonon mean free path, phonons can carry heat with no internal scattering. Ballistic phonon transport has received attention for both theoretical and practical aspects because Fourier's law of heat conduction breaks down and the heat dissipation in nanoscale transistors becomes unpredictable in the ballistic regime. While recent experiments de...
متن کاملSlip Boundary Conditions in Ballistic–Diffusive Heat Transport in Nanostructures
Ballistic–diffusive heat conduction, which is predominantly affected by boundaries and interfaces, will occur in nanostructures whose characteristic lengths are comparable to the phonon mean free path (MFP). Here, we demonstrated that interactions between phonons and boundaries (or interfaces) could lead to two kinds of slip boundary conditions in the ballistic– diffusive regime: boundary tempe...
متن کاملFull-dispersion Monte Carlo simulation of phonon transport in micron-sized graphene nanoribbons
We simulate phonon transport in suspended graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with real-space edges and experimentally-relevant widths and lengths (from submicron to hundreds of microns). The full-dispersion phonon Monte Carlo (PMC) simulation technique, which we describe in detail, involves a stochastic solution to the phonon Boltzmann transport equation with the relevant scattering mechanisms (edge, ...
