Abstract
To carry out a systematic reliability study of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) under high-current stress, detailed electrical analysis of CNF breakdown is performed on four configurations using current annealing. This investigation can be described with a heat transport model that takes into account Joule heating and heat dissipation along the CNF, and assuming that breakdown occurs where the temperature reaches a threshold or critical value.
