Molecular dynamics calculation of the thermal conductivity coefficient of single-layer and multilayer graphene sheets

Abstract

The thermal conductivity coefficients of single-layer and multilayer graphene sheets have been calculated using the molecular dynamics simulation. Calculations have been performed for graphene sheets with lengths in the range 20–130 nm and at average temperatures in the range 230–630 K. The results obtained have been compared with the experimental data and results of calculations carried out in other works.
