Substrate-induced reduction of graphene thermal conductivity
arXiv:1608.08856 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.95.045418
Abstract
We develop the theory of heat conductivity in supported graphene, accounting for coherent phonon scattering on disorder induced by an amorphous substrate. We derive spectra for in-plane and out-of-plane phonons in the framework of Green's function approach. The energetic parameters of the theory are obtained using the molecular dynamics simulations for graphene on SiO substrate. The heat conductivity is calculated by the Boltzmann transport equation. We find that the interaction with the substrate drastically reduces the phonon lifetime and completely suppresses the contribution of ZA phonons to the heat conductivity. As a result, the total heat conductivity is reduced by several times, which matches with the tendency observed for available experimental data. The considered effect is important for managing thermal properties of the graphene-based electronic devices.
