Ballistic-Diffusive Model for Heat Transport in Superlattices and the Minimum Effective Heat Conductivity
There has been much interest in semiconductor superlattices because of their low thermal conductivities. This makes them especially suitable for applications in a variety of devices for the thermoelectric generation of energy, heat control at the nanometric length scale, etc. Recent experiments have...
