Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to investigate the mechanism of thermal energy transport at the interface between n-heneicosane in solid and liquid phases and few-layer graphene at different temperatures under two heating modes (in the “heat-matrix” mode, heat is flowing from the heated heneicosane molecules to the cooled ones through the graphene layers and in the...
