Abstract

We have studied the thermal conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using the NEMD method. The results indicate that the thermal conductivity values are not profoundly influenced by the specific simulation-technique used in the MD simulations. Some possible reasons, which could be responsible for the discrepancy on thermal conductivity values of SWCNTs in the literatures, are discussed.
