Tunable Thermal Transport and Thermal Rectification in Strained Graphene Nanoribbons

K. G. S. H. Gunawardana, Kieran Mullen, Jiuning Hu +2

Using molecular dynamics(MD) simulations, we study thermal transport in graphene nanoribbons (GNR) subjected to uniform uniaxial and nonuniform strain fields. We predict significan…

Dopant-vacancy binding effects in Li-doped magnesium hydride

Kyle C. Smith, Timothy S. Fisher, Umesh V. Waghmare +1

We use a combination of ab initio calculations and statistical mechanics to investigate the substitution of Li+ for Mg2+ in magnesium hydride (MgH2) accompanied by the formation of…
