• Contact mechanics and thermal conductance of carbon nanotube array interfaces (2009, background): “This resistance is most prevalent when the dominant phonon wavelength (kd) exceeds the CNT diameter [35,36] (kd h vg/kB T, where h is the Planck constant, vg is the velocity of phonons, kB is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature [60]).”
• Molecular transport junctions: vibrational effects (2006, result): “thermal conductivity and thermoelectric power of single carbon nanotubes were studied both experimentally[455, 456, 457] and theoretically[458, 459] [460, 461]. In a different experiment, Schwab et al[462] have observed the quantum thermal conductance in a nano fabricated 1D structure, which behaves”
• Unusually high thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes (2000, background): “This quantization should lead to the thermalconductance quantization, as shown in other 1D phonon-transport systems at low temperatures [48].”
