Abstract:We numerically investigate the effects of deformations on negative differential thermal resistance (NDTR) in single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). It is found that various deformations have different effects on the regime of NDTR. The z-distortion of CNTs almost does not affect the regime of NDTR and the xy-distortion reduces the regime of NDTR. On increasing the bending angle and screw ratio, the NDTR regime reduces and eventually vanished. In addition, when the length of CNTs increases, the NDTR regime also… Show more
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.
