The thermal properties of graphene-based materials are theoretically
investigated. The fourth-nearest neighbor force constant method for phonon
properties is used in conjunction with both the Landauer ballistic and the
non-equilibrium Green's function techniques for transport. Ballistic phonon
transport is investigated for different structures including graphene, graphene
antidot lattices, and graphene nanoribbons. We demonstrate that this particular
methodology is suitable for robust and efficient investigation of phonon
transport in graphene-based devices. This methodology is especially useful for
investigations of thermoelectric and heat transport applications.
