Ballistic to diffusive crossover of heat flow in graphene ribbons
arXiv:1304.1179 · doi:10.1038/ncomms2755
Abstract
Heat flow in nanomaterials is an important area of study, with both fundamental and technological implications. However, little is known about heat flow in two-dimensional (2D) devices or interconnects with dimensions comparable to the phonon mean free path (mfp). Here, we find that short, quarter-micron graphene samples reach ~35% of the ballistic heat conductance limit up to room temperature, enabled by the relatively large phonon mfp (~100 nm) in substrate-supported graphene. In contrast, patterning similar samples into nanoribbons (GNRs) leads to a diffusive heat flow regime that is controlled by ribbon width and edge disorder. In the edge-controlled regime, the GNR thermal conductivity scales with width approximately as ~W^{1.8+/-0.3}, being about 100 W/m/K in 65-nm-wide GNRs, at room temperature. Manipulation of device dimensions on the scale of the phonon mfp can be used to achieve full control of their heat-carrying properties, approaching fundamentally limited upper or lower bounds.
