Semiconductor thermal and electrical properties decoupled by localized phonon resonances
Bryan T. Spann, Joel C. Weber, Matt D. Brubaker +8
Thermoelectric materials convert heat into electricity through thermally driven charge transport in solids, or vice versa for cooling. To be competitive with conventional energy-ge…
Two orders of magnitude reduction in silicon membrane thermal conductivity by resonance hybridizations
Hossein Honarvar, Mahmoud I. Hussein
The thermal conductivity of a freestanding single-crystal silicon membrane may be reduced significantly by attaching nanoscale pillars on one or both surfaces. Atomic resonances of…
Thermal transport size effects in silicon membranes featuring nanopillars as local resonators
Hossein Honarvar, Lina Yang, Mahmoud I. Hussein
Silicon membranes patterned by nanometer-scale pillars standing on the surface provide a practical platform for thermal conductivity reduction by resonance hybridization. Using mol…
Spectral energy analysis of locally resonant nanophononic metamaterials by molecular simulations
Hossein Honarvar, Mahmoud I. Hussein
A nanophononic metamaterial is a new type of nanostructured material that features an array, or a forest, of intrinsically distributed resonating substructures. Each substructure e…
