Simulation of Heat Transport in Graphene Nanoribbons Using the Ab-Initio Scattering Operator

We present a deviational Monte Carlo method for simulating phonon transport in graphene using the ab initio 3-phonon scattering operator. This operator replaces the commonly used relaxation-time approximation, which is known to neglect, among other things, coupling between out of equilibrium states...
