Phonon group velocity and thermal conduction in superlattices
Open accessAbstract
With the use of a face-centered cubic model of lattice dynamics we calculate the group velocity of acoustic phonons in the growth direction of periodic superlattices. Comparing with the case of bulk solids, this component of the phonon group velocity is reduced due to the flattening of the dispersion curves associated with Brillouin-zone folding. The results are used to estimate semiquantitatively the effects on the lattice thermal conductivity in Si/Ge and GaAs/AlAs superlattices. For a Si/Ge superlattice an order of magnitude reduction is predicted in the ratio of superlattice thermal conductivity to phonon relaxation time [consistent with the results of P. Hyldgaard and G. D. Mahan, Phys. Rev. B 56, 10 754 (1997)]. For a GaAs/AlAs superlattice the corresponding reduction is rather small, i.e., a factor of 2--3. These effects are larger for the superlattices with larger unit period, contrary to the recent measurements of thermal conductivity in superlattices.

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.
