We present results of a molecular dynamics study to analyze thermal transport at carbon nanotube (CNT)-graphene junctions comprising of single layer graphene and (6,6) armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Two possible junction types with different degrees of sp2 and sp3 hybridization are investigated. Reverse Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (RNEMD) simulations are used to obtain the thermal conductivities in these hybrid structures and also analyze the role of the interfacial thermal resistance at the SWCNT-graphene junctions in limiting thermal transport. The highest out-of-plane (along the SWCNT axis) thermal conductivity of a hybrid structure with a CNT-graphene junction was obtained to be 158.9±1.2 W/m-K when the junction comprised of only sp2 bonds with an interpillar distance of 15 nm and a pillar height of 200 nm. The highest in-plane thermal conductivity (along the graphene layer plane) with two CNT-graphene junctions was found to be 392.2±9.9 W/m-K with junctions comprising of only sp2 bonds and an interpillar distance of 20 nm and a pillar height of 25 nm. In all cases, junctions with mixed sp2/sp3 hybridization showed higher interfacial thermal resistance than junctions with pure sp2 bonds, and the thermal interfacial resistance was found to be weakly dependent on the length of CNT and the interpillar distance. The highest interfacial thermal resistance measured across the CNT-graphene junction was 3.10×10−6 K-cm2/W when the junction comprised of mixed sp2/sp3 bonds and with 15 nm interpillar distance and 50 nm pillar height.

Abstract Understanding the effect of fission gas generation on thermal resistance in various nuclear fuels is critical for managing fuel performance. Fission gas in the fuels degrades its thermal properties by altering the lattice vibrations. It results in thermal expansion that increases the thermal resistance and decreases the structural stability of the fuels. In this research, thermal transport in uranium dioxide is studied at a microscopic level when Xe and Kr gasses interact with uranium and oxygen atoms. Reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD) is used to calculate the thermal resistances and provide an understanding about the effect of the fission gas release on phonon transport. The results show that the thermal conductivity of uranium dioxide is decreased nearly by 78% by the presence of only one fission gas bubble. The thermal transport in uranium dioxide is shown to become highly diffusive by a single fission gas bubble and a large temperature drop in temperature profiles are observed in all simulation structures with fission gas bubbles. The average interfacial thermal resistance across a fission gas bubble is estimated to be 2.1 × 10−9 Km2/W.

The interfacial thermal resistance of 11-mercaptoundecanol (-S(CH2)11OH) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) adsorbed on Au(111) substrate and water was investigated using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The interfacial thermal resistance was found to be a half of that in the system which consists of 1-dodecanthiol (-S(CH2)11CH3) SAM adsorbed on Au(111) and toluene [Kikugawa G. et al., J. Chem. Phys. (2009)]. The effective thermal energy transfer originates from hydrogen-bond structure between the SAM and water molecules in spite of weak structurization of water molecules near the SAM surface.
