Thermal conductance of Teflon and Polyethylene: Insight from an atomistic, single-molecule level
The thermal transport properties of teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) and its polyethylene counterparts are, while highly desirable and widely used, only superficially understood. Here, we aim therefore to provide rigorous insight from an atomistic point of view in context of single-molecule devices. We show that for vinyl polymers adsorbed on metal-surfaces the thermal transport strongly depend...
متن کاملThermal Transport in Phase Change Memory Materials
Phase change memory uses brief pulses of electrical current to induce phase transitions in chalcogenide material regions with dimensions near or even far below 50 nm. The strongly differing electrical conductivities of the crystalline and amorphous phases allow data storage at densities in excess of terabits per square inch. Nanoscale conduction heat transfer governs the figures of merit in the...
متن کاملLarge scale molecular dynamics simulations of phase change materials
We present results of large scale (4000 atoms) atomistic simulations of liquid and amorphous GeTe based on a classical interatomic potential obtained by fitting a huge database of ab-initio energies by means of a Neural Network method. The availability of a reliable classical potential will allow addressing several issues on the properties of phase change materials presently beyond the capabili...
متن کاملGas Diffusion, Energy Transport, and Thermal Accommodation in SingleWalled Carbon Nanotube Aerogels
The thermal conductivity of gas-permeated single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) aerogel (8 kg m − 3 density, 0.0061 volume fraction) is measured experimentally and modeled using mesoscale and atomistic simulations. Despite the high thermal conductivity of isolated SWCNTs, the thermal conductivity of the evacuated aerogel is 0.025 ± 0.010 W m − 1 K − 1 at a temperature of 300 K. This very low va...
متن کاملCharge Transport and Phase Behavior of Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquid Crystals from Fully Atomistic Simulations
Ionic liquid crystals occupy an intriguing middle ground between room-temperature ionic liquids and mesostructured liquid crystals. Here, we examine a non-polarizable, fully atomistic model of the 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate family using molecular dynamics in the constant pressure-constant temperature ensemble. These materials exhibit a distinct "smectic" liquid phase, characterized by ...
