TLDR
This work discusses sources of uncertainty and proposes a simple analytical model for the SWNT thermal conductivity including length and temperature dependence, which is attributed to second-order three-phonon scattering between two acoustic modes and one optical mode.Abstract:
The thermal properties of a suspended metallic single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) are extracted from its high-bias (I−V) electrical characteristics over the 300−800 K temperature range, achieved by Joule self-heating. The thermal conductance is approximately 2.4 nW/K, and the thermal conductivity is nearly 3500 Wm-1K-1 at room temperature for a SWNT of length 2.6 μm and diameter 1.7 nm. A subtle decrease in thermal conductivity steeper than 1/T is observed at the upper end of the temperature range, which is attributed to second-order three-phonon scattering between two acoustic modes and one optical mode. We discuss sources of uncertainty and propose a simple analytical model for the SWNT thermal conductivity including length and temperature dependence.read more

Thermal Properties of Metal-Coated Vertically Aligned Single-Wall Nanotube Arrays

Thermal and Thermoelectric Properties of Graphene
TL;DR: It is shown that the superior thermal conductivity of graphene is contributed not only by large ballistic thermal conductance but also by very long phonon mean free path (MFP), which results in important isotope effects and size effects on thermal conduction.
