An analytical model for the thermal conductivity of silicon nanostructures

A simple model of thermal conductivity, based on the harmonic theory of solids, is used to study the heat transfer in nanostructures. The thermal conductivity is obtained by summing the contribution of all the vibration modes of the system. All the vibrational properties (dispersion curves and rel...
