Circles are the effective thermal conductivity of the CNTs in the 3D random array obtained from Eq. (1). Squares are the thermoelectric power of the CNT bed. The maximum error in $\kappa$ and $\Sigma$ from all experiments is 5%.Reuse & Permissions

Figure 3

(a) The running integral of the power auto correlation function converging to the contact conductance between the two (10, 10) SWCNT obtained by MD simulation for a single isolated junction. Atomistic Green’s function simulation independently gives similar value of the contact conductance (see text for details). The error in conductance obtained from MD is $\sim 5\mathrm{pW}/K$ (b) The lower data show the ratio of the conductance of a double junction and a single junction obtained by AGF simulations. The two junctions in the double junction are separated by a distance much smaller than the mean free path. The conductance of the double junction is $\sim 1$ order of magnitude smaller than a single junction (see text for details).Reuse & Permissions
