This thesis is devoted to the calculation of thermal contact resistance in various molecular systems based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and few layer graphene (FLG). This work has been performed through equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulations. We adopted the temperature difference fluctuations method in our EMD calculations. This method only needs the input of the temperatures of the subsystems whereas the heat flux, which is involved in all the other approaches, remains more difficult to compute in terms of simulation time and algorithm. Firstly, three cases were studied to validate this method, namely: (i) Si/Ge superlattices; (ii) diameter modulated SiC nanowires; and (iii) few-layer graphenes. The validity of the temperature diff...
