Molecular Dynamics Simulations on Influence of Defect on Thermal Conductivity of Silicon Nanowires

A non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation method is conducted to study the thermal conductivity (TC) of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) with different types of defects. The impacts of defect position, porosity, temperature, and length on the TC of SiNWs are analyzed. The numerical results indicate t...
