Phonon Transmission Across Silicon Grain Boundaries by Atomistic Green's Function Method

Nanostructured materials are of great interest for many applications because of their special properties. Understanding the effect of grain boundaries on phonon transport in polycrystals is important for engineering nanomaterials with desired thermal transport properties. The phonon transport proper...
