Theory of Phonon Thermal Transport in Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene

Theory of Phonon Thermal Transport in Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene

Thesis advisor: David A. Broido === A theory is presented for describing the lattice thermal conductivities of graphene and single-walled carbon nanotubes. A phonon Boltzmann transport equation approach is employed to describe anharmonic phonon-phonon, crystal boundary, and isotopic impurity scatte...
