AB - In this paper, the thermal conductivity of Single-wall carbon nanotubes  (SWCNTs) is determined by lattice vibrations (phonons) and free elections.  The thermal conductivity of SWCNTs is modeled up to 8-300 K and the observed  deviations in K-T figures of SWCNTs are explained in terms of phonon  vibrations models. An suitable theoretical model is shown for thermal  conductivity behavior with respect to temperature and is generalized for  experimental results. This model enables us to calculate thermal conductivity  SWNTs and Thermal Potential Energy (TPE).
