  "abstract": "We analyze numerically the thermal conductivity of carbon nanoribbons with ideal and rough edges. We demonstrate that edge disorder can lead to a suppression of thermal conductivity by several orders of magnitude. This effect is associated with the edge-induced Anderson localization and suppression of the phonon transport, and it becomes more pronounced for longer nanoribbons and low temperatures.",
