...values obtained in the experiments were attributed to the ballistic transport regime achieved in some CNTs. Commonly quoted values for individual MWCNTs are ~3000 W/mK [10] and ~3500 W/mK for SW-CNTs [11] at RT. These values are above the bulk graphite limit of ~2000 W/mK. Thus, CNTs are nanostructures where heat transport is not mostly limited by the extrinsic effects, such as boundary scattering, li...

...ne, unlike in NCD or DLC, can be dominated by the intrinsic properties of the strong sp2 lattice, rather than by phonon scattering on boundaries or by disorder, giving rise to extremely high K values [10,11, 16, 17]. From the theoretical point of view, CNTs are similar to graphene but have large curvatures and different quantization conditions for phonon modes. In the discussion of heat conduction in CNTs, one h...

...hest of above 2000 W/mK at room temperature (RT) in diamond or graphene. In type-II-a diamond K reaches 10000 W/mK at T≈77 K. Thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), K≈3000 – 3500 W/mK at RT [10, 11], exceeds that of diamond, which is the best bulk heat conductor. Alexander A.
