Thermal conductivity of epitaxial graphene nanoribbons on SiC: effect of substrate
arXiv:1201.6355 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.85.235429
Abstract
We study the effect of SiC substrate on thermal conductivity of epitaxial graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) using the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method. We show that the substrate has strong interaction with single-layer GNRs during the thermal transport, which largely reduces the thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity characteristics of suspended GNRs are well preserved in the second GNR layers of bilayer GNR, which has a weak van der Waals interaction with the underlying structures. The out-of-plane phonon mode is found to play a critical role on the thermal conductivity variation of the second GNR layer induced by the underlying structures.
