Abstract

One-dimensional materials with unique structural characteristics make them have different properties from block or other dimensional materials, which has attracted extensive attention of researchers. Thermal characteristic of single wire, fiber, or nanotube is easy to be affected by other factors, so the measurement method needs to be improved. Some experimental techniques are introduced. Because of its remarkable anisotropy, its thermal transport mechanisms deserve to be mentioned. This chapter focuses on one-dimensional materials ...
