Off-center Rattling Triggers High-Temperature Thermal Transport in Thermoelectric lathrates: Non-Perturbative Approach
Qing Xi, Zhongwei Zhang, Tsuneyoshi Nakayama +3
Lattice thermal conductivities of type-I clathrates encapsulating "off-center" guest atoms behave in a way that is sharply different from those of conventional crystals…
Engineering the thermal conductivity along an individual silicon nanowire by selective helium ion irradiation
Yunshan Zhao, Dan Liu, Jie Chen +10
The ability to engineer the thermal conductivity of materials allows us to control the flow of heat and derive novel functionalities such as thermal rectification, thermal switchin…
Significant Reduction of Graphene Thermal Conductivity by Phononic Crystal Structure
Lina Yang, Jie Chen, Nuo Yang +1
We studied the thermal conductivity of graphene phononic crystal (GPnC), also named as graphene nanomesh, by molecular dynamics simulations. The dependences of thermal conductivity…
Thermal Contact Resistance Across Nanoscale Silicon Dioxide and Silicon Interface
Jie Chen, Gang Zhang, Baowen Li
Silicon dioxide and silicon (SiO/Si) interface plays a very important role in semiconductor industry. However, at nanoscale, its interfacial thermal properties haven't been w…
Impacts of Atomistic Coating on Thermal Conductivity of Germanium Nanowires
Jie Chen, Gang Zhang, Baowen Li
By using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrated that thermal conductivity of Germanium nanowires can be reduced more than 25% at room temperature by atomis…
Phonon Coherent Resonance and Its Effect on Thermal Transport In Core-Shell Nanowires
Jie Chen, Gang Zhang, Baowen Li
We study heat current autocorrelation function and thermal conductivity in core-shell nanowires by using molecular dynamics simulations. Interestingly, a remarkable oscillation eff…
