Modified effective medium formulation for the thermal conductivity of nanocomposites
Abstract
This letter introduces a modified effective medium formulation for composites where the characteristic length of the inclusion is on the order of or smaller than the phonon mean free path. The formulation takes into account the increased interface scattering in the different phases of the nanocomposite and the thermal boundary resistance between the phases. The interface density of inclusions is introduced and is found to be a primary factor in determining the thermal conductivity. The predictions are in good agreement with results from Monte Carlo simulations and solutions to the Boltzmann equation.

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.
