Mode dependent thermal transmission in carbon nanotubes TA (E1u ) transmission
Mode dependent thermal transmission in carbon nanotubes TW (A2g ) transmission
Conclusions and remarks • NGF and mode matching method is exact for the elastic scatterings of phonon, such as dects. • Purely ballistic thermal transport in nanowires (with d>10 nm) at low temperatures will behave as T3. • Phonons with lower group velocities will be scattered strongly by the SW defect in CNT. • More efficient method are needed for the consideration of nonlinear interaction in the quantum regime.
