Strong anisotropic thermal conductivity of nanoporous silicon
Nanoporous silicon is known to have a thermal conductivity that is orders of magnitude smaller than the bulk crystalline silicon from which it is formed. Even though the strong columnar microscopic structure of porous silicon indicates the possibility of highly anisotropic thermal properties, there have been no measurements. We report here an experimental investigation of this anisotropy. An an...
متن کاملScaling laws for thermal conductivity of crystalline nanoporous silicon based on molecular dynamics simulations
This study establishes that the effective thermal conductivity keff of crystalline nanoporous silicon is strongly affected not only by the porosity fv and the system’s length Lz but also by the pore interfacial area concentration Ai. The thermal conductivity of crystalline nanoporous silicon was predicted using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The Stillinger-Weber potential for s...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulations of Thermal Conductivity in Nanoporous Si Membranes
We present a Monte Carlo (MC) study of heat transport in Si nanomeshes. Phonons are treated semiclassically as particles of specific energy and velocity that undergo Umklapp scattering and boundary scattering on the surfaces of the nanomesh pores. We investigate the influence of: i) geometric parameters such as the pore arrangement/randomness and porosity and, ii) the roughness strength of the ...
متن کاملPhase diagram of silicon from atomistic simulations.
In this Letter we present a calculation of the temperature-pressure phase diagram of Si in a range of pressures covering from -5 to 20 GPa and temperatures up to the melting point. The phase boundaries and triple points between the diamond, liquid, beta-Sn, and Si34 clathrate phases are reported. We have employed efficient simulation techniques to calculate free energies and to numerically inte...
متن کاملLattice thermal conductivity of ultra high temperature ceramics ZrB2 and HfB2 from atomistic simulations
Atomistic Green-Kubo simulations are performed to evaluate the lattice thermal conductivity for single crystals of the ultra high temperature ceramics ZrB2 and HfB2 for a range of temperatures. Recently developed interatomic potentials are used for these simulations. Heat current correlation functions show rapid oscillations which can be identified with mixed metal-Boron optical phonon modes. A...
