Molecular dynamics simulations of thermal transport in thin silicon nanowires
Silicon is one of the best known materials of our age, cheap and readily available, being the basic constituent of semiconductor electronics. It would therefore be highly desirable to broaden its utilization for, e.g. renewable energy applications. Recently, it has been proposed that Silicon may be engineered to be an efficient thermoelectric material for use in solid state devices[1, 2]. Altho...

متن کاملDraft: Phonon Transport in Asymmetric Sawtooth Nanowires
Thermal transport in asymmetric sawtooth nanowires was investigated. The boundaries reflect phonons differently depending on the frequency and momentum of the phonon. These systems show thermally rectifying behavior when the boundary reflections are a function of both the direction the phonon is traveling and the frequency of the phonon. This rectifying effect could be useful for thermal manage...
متن کاملGeometry and temperature dependent thermal conductivity of diamond nanowires A non-equilibrium molecular dynamics study
Using non-equilibriummolecular dynamics methods, the analysis of geometry and temperature dependent thermal conductivities of diamond nanowires is carried out. It is found that at the same temperature conditions, thermal conductivities of diamond nanowires increase with increasing lengths, ranging from 20 to 350 nm and cross-sectional areas ranging from 2 to 30 nm. At the same length, temperatu...
متن کاملPhonon Transport in Molecular Dynamics Simulations: Formulation and Thermal Conductivity Prediction
The past decade has seen rapid progress in the design, manufacturing, and application of electromechanical devices at micron and nanometer length scales. While advances in fabrication techniques, material characterization, and system integration continue, a lag exists in theoretical approaches that can successfully predict how these devices will behave. As classical and continuum theories reach...
