Thermal Rectification and Thermal Logic Gates in Graded Alloy Semiconductors

Classical thermal rectification arises from the contact between two dissimilar bulk materials, each with a thermal conductivity (<i>k</i>) with a different temperature dependence. Here, we study thermal rectification in a Si<sub>(1−<i>x</i>)</sub>Ge<i><su...
