Ballistic Heat Transport in Nanocomposite: The Role of the Shape and Interconnection of Nanoinclusions

In this article, the effect on the vibrational and thermal properties of gradually interconnected nanoinclusions embedded in an amorphous silicon matrix is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. The nanoinclusion arrangement ranges from an aligned sphere array to an interconnected mesh of nan...
