Nanotube heat conductors under tensile strain: Reducing the three-phonon scattering strength of acoustic phonons
Daniel Bruns, Alireza Nojeh, A. Srikantha Phani +1
Acoustic phonons play a special role in lattice heat transport, and confining these low-energy modes in low-dimensional materials may enable nontrivial transport phenomena. By appl…
Reduced thermal conductivity in molecular forests
Aashish Bhardwaj, A. Srikantha Phani, Alireza Nojeh +1
Heat propagation in quasi-one dimensional materials (Q1DMs) often appears paradoxical. While an isolated Q1DM, such as a nanowire, carbon nanotube, or polymer, can exhibit a high t…
Heat transport in carbon nanotubes: Length dependence of phononic conductivity from the Boltzmann transport equation and molecular dynamics
Daniel Bruns, Alireza Nojeh, A. Srikantha Phani +1
In this article, we address lattice heat transport in single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by a quantum mechanical calculation of three-phonon scattering rates in the framework of…
