Scaling 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 کاملAntireflection and SiO2 Surface Passivation by Liquid-Phase Chemistry for Efficient Black Silicon Solar Cells
We report solar cells with both black Si antireflection and SiO2 surface passivation provided by inexpensive liquid-phase chemistry, rather than by conventional vacuum-based techniques. Preliminary cell efficiency has reached 16.4%. Nanoporous black Si antireflection on crystalline Si by aqueous etching promises low surface reflection for high photon utilization, together with lower manufacturi...
متن کاملStrong 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 کاملThermal conductivity in thin silicon nanowires: phonon confinement effect.
Thermal conductivity of thin silicon nanowires (1.4-8.3 nm) including the realistic crystalline structures and surface reconstruction effects is investigated using direct molecular dynamics simulations with Stillinger-Weber potential for Si-Si interactions. Thermal conductivity as a function of decreasing nanowire diameter shows an expected decrease due to increased surface scattering effects. ...

Room-temperature thermoelectric properties of n-type crystalline Si with periodically arranged nanometer-sized pores are computed using a combination of classical molecular dynamics for lattice thermal conductivity and ab initio density functional theory for electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity. The electrical conductivity is foun...
