Characterization of thermal transport in low-dimensional boron nitride nanostructures
Abstract
Recent advances in the synthesis of hexagonal boron nitride (BN) based nanostructures, similar to graphene, graphene nanoribbons, and nanotubes, have attracted significant interest into characterization of these materials. While electronic and optical properties of BN-based materials have been widely studied, the thermal transport has not been thoroughly investigated. In this paper, the thermal transport properties of these BN nanostructures are systematically studied using equilibrium molecular dynamics with a Tersoff-type empirical interatomic potential which is re-parametrized to represent experimental structure and phonon dispersion of two-dimensional hexagonal BN. Our simulations show that BN nanostructures have considerably high thermal conductivities but are still quite lower than carbon-based counterparts. Qualitatively, however, the thermal conductivity of carbon and BN nanoribbons display similar behavior with respect to the variation of width and edge structure (zigzag and armchair). Additionally, thermal conductivities of $(10,10)$ and $(10,0)$ nanotubes, both carbon and BN, are found to have very weak dependence on their chirality.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
