▎ 摘  要

The effect of grain boundary (GB) structure, size, and shape on the thermal conductivity of polycrystalline graphene is studied in the framework of the deformation potential approach. Precise analytical expressions for the phonon mean free path (MFP) are obtained within the Born approximation. We found exactly two types of behavior in the long-wavelength limit: MFP varies as omega(-1) for open GBs of any shape, while it behaves as omega(-3) for closed configurations (loops). In the short-wavelength limit, MFP tends to a constant value for any configuration. Oscillatory behavior is observed for all GBs, which indicates that they serve as diffraction grating for phonons. This property is also inherent in GBs with irregularities caused by partial disclination dipoles. The thermal conductivity is calculated in the framework of Callaway's approach, with all main sources of phonon scattering taken into account. Reduction of the heat conductivity with decreasing grain size is obtained in a wide temperature range. What is most interesting is that we found a marked decrease in the thermal conductivity of polycrystalline graphene containing GBs with changes in their misorientation angles.
