Thermal transport in Graphite and related materials from general third order density functional perturbation theory. — •Lorenzo Paulatto, Michele Lazzeri, Francesco Mauri, and Giorgia Fugallo — IMPMC - UPMC/CNRS, Paris, France

We use a novel generic implementation of the third order anharmonic density-functional perturbation theory to study the phonon-phonon interaction in monolayer and bilayer graphene and in bulk graphite. We describe the anharmonic effects in terms of widening of the phonon linewidth and as a phonon mean free path in the medium. We discuss the temperature and q-point dependency of the linewidth.

We estimate the phonon-driven thermal transport in the single-mode relaxation time approximation, for room temperature and higher, and compare it to graphene and pyrolytic graphite experiments.
