    SixGe1-x alloy as efficient phonon barrier in Ge/Si superlattices for thermoelectric applications

    By means of atomistic simulations we study how thermal transport is affected by several chemical and morphological parameters in Ge/Si superlattices. We predict thermal conductivity as a function of the alloy...

    Calculating thermal conductivity in a transient conduction regime: theory and implementation

    We present a molecular dynamics method addressed to the calculation of the lattice thermal conductivity during the transient regime of approach to equilibrium from an initial condition of nonuniform temperatu...
