In this study, the thermal conductivity of various size of pure copper, pure graphene and, different number of layer graphene coated copper models are studied using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations. Our findings show that the thermal conductivity of graphene coated copper is higher than the uncoated ones. Furthermore, results also indicate that single layer graphene (SLG) model has the highest thermal conductivity as compared to the other model. Even though multiple layer graphene (MLG) has lower thermal conductivity value compare to SLG, this study shows that the thermal conductivity of MLG coated copper has higher thermal conductivity than SLG coated one. The most important finding in this study suggests that the thermal conductivity of copper can be improved using high thermal conductivity materials like graphene.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
