Abstract

In this communication, we investigate the lattice dynamics of twisted graphene nanoribbons using the density-functional tight-binding method based on screw symmetry. The results show that the decrease in phonon group velocity induced by twisting reduces the lattice thermal conductivity. Our findings provide inspiration for the design of graphene-based phononic devices tailored by inhomogeneous strain.
