Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj14j9zskx" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />Local strain created by nano-indentation or molecular adsorption can lead to a spatially confined quantum dot on the graphene sheet. How can the tip–surface interaction affect the heat transfer across the graphene basal plane? In this work molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to investigate this issue.</p> </abstract>
