(color online) Time dependence of normalized heat current autocorrelation functions (HCACF). (a) Normalized HCACF for pristine CNTs (black line), DCNTs with 50% SW defects (red line), and CNTSLs with 50% SW defects (green line). (b) Long-time region of panel (a). (c) Normalized HCACF for DCNTs with different concentration SW defects. (d) Long-time region of panel (c). The black lines in all figures draw the zero axis for reference.
