Abstract: Using classical non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations (NEMD), thermal rectification of armchair graphene affected by vacancy defect is investigated. Equilateral triangle vacancy defect is observed on the thermal rectification and the thermal conductivity of armchair grapheme in this paper. We find that thermal conductivities for armchair graphene affected by vacancy defect in both directions decrease with increasing temperature. Besides, thermal rectification of the armchair graphene also decreases with increasing temperature.
