摘要
The thermophysical properties of Si/Ge hetero-twinned superlattices (SLs) are investigated by nonequilibrium molecular dynamic simulations. The results indicate that the Si/Ge hetero-twinned SLs show low thermal conductivity, which is similar to that of conventional Si/Ge SLs. Analysis with phonon kinetic theory shows that low thermal conductivity in the Si/Ge hetero-twinned SLs is caused by the combined actions of reduced phonon group velocity and reduced relaxation time. Moreover, despite similar thermal conductivity in Si/Ge hetero-twinned SLs and conventional Si/Ge SLs, the phonon group velocity and relaxation time in the two structures are totally different. Our results demonstrate the potential of a new kind of SLs with strong phonon scattering.
