A molecular dynamics study of the thermal conductivity of graphene nanoribbons containing dispersed Stone–Thrower–Wales defects by Ng, Teng Yong, Yeo, Jing Jie, Liu, Zishun

“…Classical molecular dynamics with the AIREBO potential is used to investigate the thermal conductivity of both zigzag and armchair graphene nanoribbons possessing different densities of Stone–Thrower–Wales (STW) defects. Our results indicate that the presence of the defects can decrease thermal conductivity by more than 50%. …”
