The thermal conductivity and thermoelectric power of a single carbon nanotube were measured using a microfabricated suspended device. The observed thermal conductivity is more than 3000 W/K m at room temperature, which is 2 orders of magnitude higher than the estimation from previous experiments that used macroscopic mat samples. The temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of nanotubes exhibits a peak at 320 K due to the onset of umklapp phonon scattering. The measured thermoelectric…

Mesoscopic thermal and thermoelectric measurements of individual carbon nanotubes
Thermal conductance and thermopower of an individual single-wall carbon nanotube.
We have observed experimentally that the thermal conductance of a 2.76-microm-long individual suspended single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) was very close to the calculated ballistic thermal…
Ballistic thermal and electrical conductance measurements on individual multiwall carbon nanotubes
We report thermal measurements on individual carbon nanotubes using a temperature sensing scanned microscope probe. An arc-grown bundle of multiwalled nanotubes (MWNTs) is mechanically attached to a…

Diameter and Temperature Dependence of Thermal Conductivity of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Temperature and diameter dependence of the thermal conductivity of several armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are studied by nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method with Brenner II…
Length-dependent thermal conductivity of an individual single-wall carbon nanotube
The thermal conductivity of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is predicted to increase with length, but this has never been proved experimentally because of limitations in previous measurement…
Dependencies of the thermal conductivity of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes
This work is aimed at assessing the sensitivity of carbon nanotube (CNT) thermal conductivity to physical and numerical parameters owing to its wide variation in the literature. CNTs of various…
