Thermal conductivity of Si–Ge superlattices
Abstract
The thermal conductivity of Si–Ge superlattices with superlattice periods 30<L<300 Å, and a Si0.85Ge0.15 thin film alloy is measured using the 3ω method. The alloy film shows a conductivity comparable to bulk SiGe alloys while the superlattice samples have a thermal conductivity that is smaller than the alloy. For 30<L<70 Å, the thermal conductivity decreases with decreasing L; these data provide a lower limit to the interface thermal conductance G of epitaxial Si–Ge interfaces: G> 2 × 109 W m−2 K−1 at 200 K. Superlattices with relatively longer periods, L>130 Å, have smaller thermal conductivities than the short-period samples. This unexpected result is attributed to a strong disruption of the lattice vibrations by extended defects produced during lattice-mismatched growth.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
