Abstract

Tersoff-potential - based molecular dynamics method is used to simulate wrinkling deformation of one graphene sheet under shear, and the obtained deformation is compared with analytical solutions of macro-membrane. Furthermore, thermal conductivity of the wrinkled graphene at different temperatures is calculated. It is found that (1) the wrinkling deformation of graphene sheet under shear is close to the analytical solutions of macro-membrane under shear, which implies that the solutions of macro-membrane are applicable to predict the wrinkling deformation of graphene sheets under shear; (2) the more serious the wrinkling of the graphene under shear is, the stronger the phonon scattering is and, therefore, the lower the thermal conductivity of the wrinkled graphene is; (3) within the temperature range of 400–700 K, the thermal conductivity of graphene sheet decreases with increase in temperature.
