Abstract

Thermal conductivity of pristine and doped graphene nanosheets and nanoribbons has been studied as a function of their width and length using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations. Electronic band structures as well as the density of states are presented for these structures using quantum calculations. Approaches to improve thermoelectric figure-of-merit (ZT) of graphene nanoribbons by p-and n-type doping have been discussed.
