Thermal conductivity of Silicon nanowires by reverse nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations

The thermal conductivity of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) was studied using the reversenonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations using the Stillinger-Weber interatomic potential. In thiswork, the length dependence of the thermal conductivity of silicon nanowires ranging from 11 to 44 nm andinfluence of temperature were predicted. The thermal conductivity of SiNWs increased with increasing innanowire length and cross-sectional area. The thermal conductivity was found to decrease with the meantemperature from 300 to 500 K.
