Abstract
Heat generation in carbon nanofibers (CNF) has raised concerns regarding reliability in these structures under high- current conditions. This work addresses the interplay between electron transport and resulting Joule heating in CNFs. The model relates current to power dissipation leading to temperature rise in the structure, thus elucidating the relationship between thermal and electrical properties in carbon nanostructures.
