Thermal conductivity in thin silicon nanowires: phonon confinement effect.
Thermal conductivity of thin silicon nanowires (1.4-8.3 nm) including the realistic crystalline structures and surface reconstruction effects is investigated using direct molecular dynamics simulations with Stillinger-Weber potential for Si-Si interactions. Thermal conductivity as a function of decreasing nanowire diameter shows an expected decrease due to increased surface scattering effects. ...

متن کاملAcoustic phonon confinement in silicon nanolayers: Effect on electron mobility
We demonstrate the confinement of acoustic phonons in ultrathin silicon layers and study its effect on electron mobility. We develop a model for confined acoustic phonons in an ideal single-layer structure and in a more realistic three-layer structure. Phonon quantization is recovered, and the dispersion relations for distinct phonon modes are computed. This allows us to obtain the confined pho...
متن کاملElectron transport in silicon nanowires: The role of acoustic phonon confinement and surface roughness scattering
We investigate the effects of electron and acoustic phonon confinements on the low-field electron mobility of thin, gated, square silicon nanowires SiNWs , surrounded by SiO2. We employ a self-consistent Poisson–Schrödinger–Monte Carlo solver that accounts for scattering due to acoustic phonons confined and bulk , intervalley phonons, and the Si /SiO2 surface roughness. The wires considered hav...
متن کاملPhonon Engineering in Isotopically Disordered Silicon Nanowires.
The introduction of stable isotopes in the fabrication of semiconductor nanowires provides an additional degree of freedom to manipulate their basic properties, design an entirely new class of devices, and highlight subtle but important nanoscale and quantum phenomena. With this perspective, we report on phonon engineering in metal-catalyzed silicon nanowires with tailor-made isotopic compositi...
