Analyzing coherent phonon mode-conversion in gradient superlattices with atomistic wave-packet simulations
Evan Wallace Doe, Theodore Maranets, Yan Wang
In this study, we have used atomistic phonon wave-packet simulations to investigate the manifestation of coherent phonons and phonon transmission in gradient superlattices (SL) bas…

Role of interface mixing on coherent heat conduction in periodic and aperiodic superlattices
Theodore Maranets, Evan Doe, Yan Wang
Superlattices (SLs) can induce phonon coherence through the periodic layering of two or more materials, enabling tailored thermal transport properties. While most theoretical studi…

How phonon coherence develops and contributes to heat conduction in periodic and aperiodic superlattices
Theodore Maranets, Yan Wang
This work investigates the impact of device length on thermal conductivity in periodic and aperiodic superlattices (SLs). While it is well known that thermal conductivity in aperio…
