Unit coefficient of thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes with positions of their use as a material for nano-emitters

In the process of field emission surface of carbon nanotubes is heated, that may lead to the rapid destruction of the emitter based on them. Therefore, the problems of heat reducing and the destruction of carbon nanotubes prevention are important. Experimental study of the thermal conductivity of isolated CNT is time consuming and expensive process, so it is better to use the numerical models to understand the process of heat transfer in carbon nanotubes. In this work the change of the nanotubes thermal conductivity was investigated with increasing length and diameter of the nanotubes and the number of defects Stone-Wales.
