Thermal Conductivity of Si Nanowires Using Atomistic Phonon Dispersions
The thermal properties of Si nanowires (NWs) are of high interest for a variety of applications such as thermal management and thermoelectricity. Most simulation studies to date use the Si bulk dispersion within a confined geometry. The phonon dispersion in ultra-narrow 1D NWs, however, is different from the bulk dispersion, and can lead to different thermal properties. In this work, we study t...
متن کاملThe Disparate Thermal Conductivity of Carbon Nanotubes and Diamond Nanowires Studied by Atomistic Simulation
Molecular dynamics simulations were used to calculate the thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes and diamond nanowires with atomic interactions modeled by the Brenner potential. The dependence of thermal conductivity on length, temperature, and temperature “boundary” condition was investigated. Lengths from 50 nm to 1 μm were simulated at a temperature of 290 K, and additional simulations wer...
متن کاملThermal Conductivity of Si Nanowires and Ultra Thin-Layers Using Atomistic Phonon Dispersions
Low dimensional materials allow for a drastic reduction in thermal conductivity due to enhanced phonon-boundary scattering, such that high ZT values are achieved. This was also experimentally demonstrated for traditionally poor thermoelectric materials such as silicon [1,2]. The structure of phonon modes in low dimensional channels and their influence on thermal conductivity, however, is still ...
متن کاملThermal conductivity of SiÕSiGe superlattice nanowires
The thermal conductivities of individual single crystalline Si/SiGe superlattice nanowires with diameters of 58 and 83 nm were measured over a temperature range from 20 to 320 K. The observed thermal conductivity shows similar temperature dependence as that of two-dimensional Si/SiGe superlattice films. Comparison with the thermal conductivity data of intrinsic Si nanowires suggests that alloy ...
متن کاملThermal conductivity of individual silicon nanowires
The thermal conductivities of individual single crystalline intrinsic Si nanowires with diameters of 22, 37, 56, and 115 nm were measured using a microfabricated suspended device over a temperature range of 20–320 K. Although the nanowires had well-defined crystalline order, the thermal conductivity observed was more than two orders of magnitude lower than the bulk value. The strong diameter de...
