Abstract

We have investigated the thermal conductivity of various ice nanotubes (Ice-NTs) using the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method. The results indicate that Ice-NTs have an unusually high thermal conductivity compared to that of the bulk ices. The thermal conductivity is sensitive to temperature, tube length and diameter, while being insensitive to polarization. We have also studied the confinement effect from single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNs). A very remarkable increase in the thermal conductivity is further observed after the Ice-NTs are confined in SWCNs.
