研究目的
Investigating the effect of strains on the thermal conductivity of Si/Ge superlattices.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that the thermal conductivities of Si/Ge superlattices decrease near monotonically with increasing tensile and compressive strains, attributed to the decrease in phonon velocities and the formation of structural defects. The NEMD results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions based on the Modified-Callaway model, indicating the potential for strain tuning in thermal management and energy conversion applications.
研究不足
The study is limited by the use of the Tersoff three-body potential model, which may not accurately represent all material systems. Additionally, the simulations are conducted at temperatures near or above Debye temperature values, which may not cover all practical scenarios.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulation to investigate the thermal conductivity of Si/Ge superlattices under various strains. The LAMMPS code is employed for simulations.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The simulation model is initialized according to the crystal lattice structure of Si/Ge superlattices.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study utilizes the LAMMPS code for simulations.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The simulations consist of two stages: constant-temperature simulation and constant-energy simulation to ensure the system reaches an equilibrium state. A specified heat flux is applied by scaling the velocities of the atoms in the hot and cold reservoirs.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The thermal conductivity is calculated based on the Fourier law of conduction, and the temperature distribution is obtained by dividing the superlattices system into many planes along the longitudinal direction.
