Heat Conduction in Nanostructured Materials Predicted by Phonon Bulk Mean Free Path Distribution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We develop a computational framework, based on the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE), with the ability to compute thermal transport in nanostructured materials of any geometry using, as the only input, the bulk cumulative ...
Diffusive Phonons in Nongray Nanostructures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nanostructured semiconducting materials are promising candidates for thermoelectrics (TEs) due to their potential to suppress phonon transport while preserving electrical properties. Modeling phonon-boundary scattering in ...
