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
## Abstract The thermal conductivity of a (5, 5) carbon nanotube at room temperature is studied by nonβequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The thermal conductivity increases from 30 W/(mΒ·K) to 1000 W/(mΒ·K) as the tube length increases from 6 nm to 4 Β΅m. It is proportional to the tube length
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.
