Strain Effects on the Phonon Thermal Properties of Ultra-Scaled Si Nanowires
The impact of uniaxial and hydrostatic stress on the ballistic thermal conductance (jl) and the specific heat (Cv) of [100] and [110] Si nanowires are explored using a Modified Valence Force Field phonon model. An anisotropic behavior of jl and isotropic nature of Cv under strain are predicted for the two wire orientations. Compressive (tensile) strain decreases (increases) Cv. The Cv trend wit...

متن کاملCalculation of Confined Phonon Spectrum in Narrow Silicon Nanowires Using the Valence Force Field Method
We study the effect of confinement on the phonon properties of ultra-narrow silicon nanowires of side sizes of 1 nm to 10 nm. We use the modified valence force field (MVFF) method to compute the phononic dispersion and extract the density of states, the transmission function, the sound velocity, the ballistic thermal conductance, and boundary-scattering-limited diffusive thermal conductivity. W...
متن کاملTuning Lattice Thermal Conductance in Ultra-Scaled Hollow SiNW: Role of Porosity Size, Density and Distribution
Porous crystalline Si nanowires (PC-SiNW) represent an attractive solution for enhancing the thermoelectric efficiency (ZT) of SiNWs by reducing the lattice thermal conductance (κl). A modified valence force field (MVFF) phonon model along with Landauer’s approach is used to analyze the ballistic κl in PC-SiNWs. A systematic study focusing on the influence of pore size, density, and distributio...
متن کاملBallistic phonon transport in ultra-thin silicon layers: Effects of confinement and orientation
We investigate the effect of confinement and orientation on the phonon transport properties of ultrathin silicon layers of thicknesses between 1 nm and 16 nm. We employ the modified valence force field method to model the lattice dynamics and the ballistic Landauer transport formalism to calculate the thermal conductance. We consider the major thin layer surface orientations {100}, {110}, {111}...
