摘要
Dependence of the thermal conductivity on the length of two armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is studied by the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) method with Brenner II potential. The thermal conductivities are calculated for (5, 5) and (7, 7) SWNTs with lengths ranging from 22 to 155nm. The results show that the thermal conductivity of SWNTs is sensitive to the length and it does not converge to a finite value when the tube length increases up to 155nm, however it obeys a power law relation. ©2007 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.
