| Summary: | <p>Abstract</p> <p/> <p>We present a fabrication process of low-cost superlattices and simulations related with the heat dissipation on them. The influence of the interfacial roughness on the thermal conductivity of semiconductor/semiconductor superlattices was studied by equilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamics and on the Kapitza resistance of superlattice's interfaces by equilibrium molecular dynamics. The non-equilibrium method was the tool used for the prediction of the Kapitza resistance for a binary semiconductor/metal system. Physical explanations are provided for rationalizing the simulation results.</p> <p>PACS</p> <p>68.65.Cd, 66.70.Df, 81.16.-c, 65.80.-g, 31.12.xv</p> |
