We have investigated the thermal conductivity of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with different edge shapes as a function of length, width, and strain using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method. The initial GNR for the functional variations has dimensions of 2 × 11   nm 2 . Strong length dependence...
