Deviational Phonons and Thermal Transport at the Nanoscale

We present a new method for simulating phonon transport at the nanoscale. The proposed approach is based on the recently developed energy-based deviational Monte Carlo method by the authors [Phys. Rev. B 84, 205331, 2011] which achieves significantly reduced statistical uncertainty compared to stand...
