Predicting Phonon Transport in Semiconductor Nanostructures using Atomistic Calculations and the Boltzmann Transport Equation

Show other versions (1)

The mechanisms of thermal transport in defect-free silicon nanostructures are examined using a combination of lattice dynamics (LD) calculations and the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE). To begin, the thermal conductivity reduction in thin films is examined using a hierarchical method that first...
