Effects of Aperiodicity and Roughness on Coherent Heat Conduction in Superlattices

Coherent phonon heat conduction has recently been confirmed experimentally in superlattice structures. Such traveling coherent phonon waves in superlattices lead to a linear increase in thermal conductivity as the number of periods increases. For applications such as thermal insulation or thermoelec...
