    Molecular Dynamics Study of the Thermal Conductivity of Graphene Coated Copper
    (Avestia Publishing, 2019) Toprak, Kasım; Ersavaş, Gizem
    In this study, the thermal conductivity of various size of pure copper, pure graphene and, different number of layer graphene coated copper models are studied using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations. Our findings show that the thermal conductivity of graphene coated copper is higher than the uncoated ones. Furthermore, results also indicate that single layer graphene (SLG) model has the highest thermal conductivity as compared to the other model. Even though multiple layer graphene (MLG) has lower thermal conductivity value compare to SLG, this study shows that the thermal conductivity of MLG coated copper has higher thermal conductivity than SLG coated one. The most important finding in this study suggests that the thermal conductivity of copper can be improved using high thermal conductivity materials like graphene. © 2019, Avestia Publishing.

    Near-Surface Viscosity Effects on Capillary Rise of Water in Nanotubes
    (American Physical Society, 2015) Vo, Truong Quoc; Barışık, Murat; Kim, BoHung
    In this paper, we present an approach for predicting nanoscale capillary imbibitions using the Lucas-Washburn (LW) theory. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to investigate the effects of surface forces on the viscosity of liquid water. This provides an update to the modified LW equation that considered only a nanoscale slip length. An initial water nanodroplet study was performed to properly elucidate the wetting behavior of copper and gold surfaces. Intermolecular interaction strengths between water and corresponding solid surfaces were determined by matching the contact angle values obtained by experimental measurements. The migration of liquid water into copper and gold capillaries was measured by MD simulations and was found to differ from the modified LW equation. We found that the liquid layering in the vicinity of the solid surface induces a higher density and viscosity, leading to a slower MD uptake of fluid into the capillaries than was theoretically predicted. The near-surface viscosity for the nanoscale-confined water was defined and calculated for the thin film of water that was sheared between the two solid surfaces, as the ratio of water shear stress to the applied shear rate. Considering the effects of both the interface viscosity and slip length of the fluid, we successfully predicted the MD-measured fluid rise in the nanotubes.
