Effective phonons in anharmonic lattices: anomalous vs normal heat conduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
– We study heat conduction in one dimensional (1D) anharmonic lattices analytically and numerically by using an effective phonon theory. It is found that every effective phonon mode oscillates quasi-periodically. By weighting the power spectrum of the total heat flux in the Debye formula, we obtain a unified formalism that can explain anomalous heat conduction in momentum conserved lattices without on-site potential and normal heat conduction in lattices with on-site potential. Our results agree very well with numerical ones for existing models such as the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model, the Frenkel-Kontorova model and the φ model etc. Recent years has witnessed increasing studies on heat conduction in one dimensional (1D) anharmonic (nonlinear) lattices [1]. On the one hand, people would like to know whether or not the Fourier’s law of heat conduction for bulk material is still valid in 1D systems. This is a fundamental question in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. In fact, it is not trivial at all as a rigorous proof is still not possible. On the other hand, the fast development of nano technology makes it possible to fabricate 1D or quasi 1D systems such as nanowire and/or nanotube etc and to measure its transport properties. To understand heat conduction behavior in such systems is of great interest in heat control and management at nanoscale. Numerically, an anomalous heat conduction heat conductivity diverges with system sizehas been observed in momentum conserved systems without on-site potential such as the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) lattice [2], and a normal heat conduction has been found in the systems with on-site potential like the Frenkel-Kontorova model [3] and the φ model [4, 5].

Temperature dependence of thermal conductivity in 1D nonlinear lattices
We examine the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity of one dimensional nonlinear (anharmonic) lattices with and without on-site potential. It is found from computer simulation that the heat conductivity depends on temperature via the strength of nonlinearity. Based on this correlation, we make a conjecture in the effective phonon theory that the meanfree-path of the effective phonon i...
متن کاملHeat conduction in 2d nonlinear lattices
The divergence of the heat conductivity in the thermodynamic limit is investigated in 2d-lattice models of anharmonic solids with nearest-neighbour interaction from single-well potentials. Two different numerical approaches based on nonequilibrium and equilibrium simulations provide consistent indications in favour of a logarithmic divergence in ”ergodic”, i.e. highly chaotic, dynamical regimes...

We study the thermal boundary conduction in one-dimensional harmonic and ϕ^{4} lattices, both of which consist of two segments coupled by a harmonic interaction. For the ballistic interfacial heat transport through the harmonic lattice, we use both theoretical calculation and molecular dynamics simulation to study the heat flux and temperature jump at the interface as to gain insights into the ...
متن کاملScaling theory of heat transport in quasi-one-dimensional disordered harmonic chains.
We introduce a variant of the banded random matrix ensemble and show, using detailed numerical analysis and theoretical arguments, that the phonon heat current in disordered quasi-one-dimensional lattices obeys a one-parameter scaling law. The resulting β function indicates that an anomalous Fourier law is applicable in the diffusive regime, while in the localization regime the heat current dec...
