A Novel Monte Carlo Method to Calculate the Thermal Conductivity in Nanoscale Thermoelectric Phononic Crystals Based on Universal Effective Medium Theory

Thermal reduction by enhancing heat-generation phonon scattering can improve thermoelectric performance. In this paper, the phonon transport subjected to internal heat generation in two-dimensional nanoscale thermoelectric phononic crystals is investigated by a novel Monte Carlo method based on the...
