Hydrostatic Pressure Effects on Lattice Thermal Conductivity of Silicon Nanofilms and Nanowires
ABSTRACT In this dissertation, lattice thermal conductivity (LTC) is computed numerically using a Modified-Debye-Callaway model, in the temperature range 2-300 K, under a hydrostatic pressure in the range 0-10GPa, for bulk silicon, naofilms (NFs) in the thickness range 20-3000 nm and nanowires (NWs) in the diameter range of 22-115 nm. The bulk silicon […]
