Phonon heat transport in superlattices: Case of Si/SiGe and SiGe/SiGe superlattices

We present a predictive Boltzmann model for the cross-plane thermal conductivity in superlattices. The developed model considers particle-like phonons exhibiting wave characteristics at the interfaces and makes the assumption that the phonon heat transport in a superlattice has a mixed character. Ex...
