## Abstract Molecular dynamics simulation using the new fit of the empirical Tersoff Potential is applied to study the thermal properties of ZnSe at and below the room temperature. The resulting diffusivity and thermal conductivity are compared with the photoacoustic measurements on the grown ZnSe
The efficiency of a thermoelectric material is measured by the figure of merit ZT, which is inversely proportional to the thermal conductivity. Superlattice structures often have a reduced thermal conductivity because of the introduction of interface scattering and, therefore, improved performance.
Thermal conductivity (TC) of thin films will be influenced by boundary if the thickness is close to the mean free path (MFP). In this paper, we calculate the TC of crystalline and amorphous SiO 2 thin films, which are commonly used materials in micro devices and Integrated Circuits, by nonequilibriu
