Article Synopsis
- - The study uses molecular dynamics simulations to analyze the thermal conductivity of plumbene, finding that its conductivity at room temperature is about 8 W m K, which is 23% lower than bulk lead.
- - It was determined that longer plumbene samples have better thermal conductivity, but higher temperatures decrease conductivity; importantly, zigzag-edged plumbene performs better than armchair-edged samples.
- - The research also shows that thermal conductivity increases at low tensile strains but declines at larger strains, providing essential insights into how plumbene behaves under different conditions.
Efficient thermal management of modern electronics requires the use of thin films with highly anisotropic thermal conductivity. Such films enable the effective dissipation of excess heat along one direction while simultaneously providing thermal insulation along the perpendicular direction. This study employs non-equilibrium molecular dynamics to investigate the thermal conductivity of bilayer graphene (BLG) sheets, examining both in-plane and cross-plane thermal conductivities.
