Abstract :
Accurate modeling of non-equilibrium heat transport in nanostructures demands an appropriate description of phonon dispersion relation and proper treatment of various anharmonic effects. In this work, we develop and employ a coupled VFF molecular mechanics-Monte Carlo (VFF-MC) platform to solve the phonon Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE) for modeling thermal conductivity in nanostructures having specified geometry.
