Abstract Straintronics is a new concept to enhance electronic device performances by strain for next-generation information sensors and energy-saving technologies. The lattice deformation in graphene can modulate the thermal conductivity because phonons are the main heat carriers. However, the devic...

description Abstract Straintronics is a new concept to enhance electronic device performances by strain for next-generation information sensors and energy-saving technologies.
