Nonequilibrium Green’s Function Approach to Phonon Transport in Defective Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract: We have developed a new theoretical formalism for phonon transport in nanostructures using the nonequilibrium phonon Green's function technique and have applied it to thermal conduction in defective carbon nanotubes. The universal quantization of low-temperature thermal conductance in carbon nanotubes can be observed even in the presence of local structural defects such as vacancies and Stone-Wales defects, since the long wavelength acoustic phonons are not scattered by local defects. At room temperature, howe… Show more

“…In both cases, the quantum effect becomes important 1 . Only recently, the nonequilibrium Green's function method 9,10,11,12 , which has been widely used to study the electronic transport, has been applied to study the quantum phononic transport 13,14,15,16,17 . As far as we know, the study of the coupled electronic and phononic transport in nanostructures is rare 18,19,20,21 .…”

“…One specific issue that is still controversial is the effect of isotope disorder on nanotube thermal conduction, which has been experimentally investigated in boron-nitride (BN) nanotubes (NTs) [2]. Despite the fact that thermal transport in disordered quasi-one-dimensional (1D) systems has been addressed in several theoretical studies [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], a detailed analysis of this problem in realistic systems at the atomic scale is still lacking. Previous work has focused on short nanowires (NWs) and thin films with rough surface [3][4][5][6][7][8] and isotope impurities [9].…”
