Registry Effect on the Thermal Conductivity of Few-Layer Graphene
arXiv:1405.3031 · doi:10.1063/1.4900526
Abstract
We perform molecular dynamics simulations to study the registry effect on the thermal conductivity of few-layer graphene. The interlayer interaction is described by either the Lennard-Jones potential or the registry-dependent potential. Our calculations show that the thermal conductivity in few-layer graphene from both potentials are close to each other, i.e the registry effect is essentially not important. It is because the thermal transport in few-layer graphene is mainly limited by the interlayer breathing mode, which is insensitive to the registry.
