Abstract

ABSTRACTWe have studied negative differential thermal conductance (NDTC) and thermal rectification (TR) in graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. Strong ballistic transport regime and sufficient temperature gradient are found to be necessary conditions for the onset of both NDTC and TR in GNRs, while the latter also requires asymmetry in structure. Preferred direction of heat transport is also discussed for TR.
