Molecular dynamics simulation of thermal conductivity of silicon nanowires
Abstract
We investigate the thermal conductivity of silicon nanowires based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The simulated thermal conductivities of nanowires with square cross sections are found to be about two orders of magnitude smaller than those of bulk Si crystals in a wide range of temperatures (200–500 K) for both rigid and free boundary conditions. A solution of the Boltzmann transport equation is used to explore the possibility of explaining the MD results based on boundary scattering.

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.
