Temperature Dependence of Joule heating in Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbon

Using full-band electron and phonon dispersion relation, we investigate the temperature dependence of Joule heating in Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons under high-field. At different temperatures of 300 K, 600 K, and 900 K, the Joule heating always increases linearly with time or the power is a constant. Although the scattering rates at 900 K and 600 K are 113 and 55 times higher than that of 300 K, the Joule heating power of 900 K and 600 K are just 12.6 and 6.7 timers higher than that of 300 K.
