Predictive design and experimental realization of InAs/GaAs superlattices with tailored thermal conductivity
J. Carrete, B. Vermeersch, L. Thumfart +7
We demonstrate an ab-initio predictive approach to computing the thermal conductivity () of InAs/GaAs superlattices (SLs) of varying period, thickness, and composition. Our new…

Compositionally-modulated Si1-xGex multilayers with cross-plane thermal conductivity below the thin-film alloy limit
Peixuan Chen, N. A. Katcho, J. P. Feser +6
We describe epitaxial Ge/Si multilayers with cross-plane thermal conductivities which can be systematically reduced to exceptionally low values, as compared both with bulk and thin…
