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 کاملElectron transport in silicon nanowires: The role of acoustic phonon confinement and surface roughness scattering
We investigate the effects of electron and acoustic phonon confinements on the low-field electron mobility of thin, gated, square silicon nanowires SiNWs , surrounded by SiO2. We employ a self-consistent Poisson–Schrödinger–Monte Carlo solver that accounts for scattering due to acoustic phonons confined and bulk , intervalley phonons, and the Si /SiO2 surface roughness. The wires considered hav...
متن کاملSuppression of phonon heat conduction in cross-section-modulated nanowires
We have theoretically demonstrated that phonon heat flux can be significantly suppressed in Si and Si/SiO2 nanowires with the periodically modulated cross-section area—referred to as the cross-section-modulated nanowires—in comparison with the generic uniform cross-section nanowires. The phonon energy spectra were obtained using the five-parameter Born–von Karman-type model and the face-centere...
متن کاملUse of Atomistic Phonon Dispersion and Boltzmann Transport Formalism to Study the Thermal Conductivity of Narrow Si Nanowires
We study the thermal properties of ultra-narrow silicon nanowires (NW) with diameters from 3 nm to 12 nm. We use the modified valence-force-field method for computation of phononic dispersion and the Boltzmann transport equation for calculation of phonon transport. Phonon dispersion in ultra-narrow 1D structures differs from dispersion in the bulk and dispersion in thicker NWs, which leads to d...
