The Effects of Radial Compression on Thermal Conductivity of Carbon and Boron Nitride Nanotubes

By using molecular dynamics method, thermal conductivity of (10, 10) carbon and boron nitride (BN) nanotubes under radial compression was investigated, and the 𝜆-𝑇 (thermal conductivity versus temperature) curves of the two nanotubes were obtained. It is found that with the increase of temperature t...
