Quantum Phonon Transport in Nanomaterials: Combining Atomistic with Non-Equilibrium Green’s Function Techniques

A crucial goal for increasing thermal energy harvesting will be to progress towards atomistic design strategies for smart nanodevices and nanomaterials. This requires the combination of computationally efficient atomistic methodologies with quantum transport based approaches. Here, we review our rec...
