Temperature-dependent thermal conductivity in silicon nanostructured materials studied by the Boltzmann transport equation

Nanostructured materials exhibit low thermal conductivity because of the additional scattering due to phonon-boundary interactions. As these interactions are highly sensitive to the mean free path (MFP) of phonons, MFP distributions in nanostructures can be dramatically distorted relative to bulk. H...
