Asymmetric energy transport in defected boron nitride nanoribbons: Implications for thermal rectification

Using molecular dynamics simulations, the thermal transport properties of boron nitride nanoribbons (BNNR) containing geometrically-asymmetric triangular nano-vacancies were investigated. By suitably interpreting the time-evolution of spatially decomposed heat-current autocorrelation function in ter...
