Heat conductivity from energy-density fluctuations
arXiv:2306.09070 · doi:10.1063/5.0168732
Abstract
We present a method, based on the classical Green-Kubo theory of linear response, to compute the heat conductivity of extended systems, leveraging energy-density, rather than energy-current, fluctuations, thus avoiding the need to devise an analytical expression for the macroscopic energy flux. The implementation of this method requires the evaluation of the long-wavelength and low-frequency limits of a suitably defined correlation function, which we perform using a combination of recently-introduced cepstral-analysis and Bayesian extrapolation techniques. Our methodology is demonstrated against standard current-based Green-Kubo results for liquid argon and water, and compared with a recently proposed similar technique, which utilizes mass-density, instead of energy-density, fluctuations.
