The non-equilibrium Greens function (NEGF) method with Buttiker probe scattering self-energies is assessed by comparing its predictions for the thermal boundary resistance with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. For simplicity, the interface of Si/heavy-Si is considered, where heavy-Si differs from Si only in the mass value. With Buttiker probe scattering parameters tuned against MD in homogeneous Si, the NEGF-predicted thermal boundary resistance quantitatively agrees with MD for wide mass ratios. Artificial resistances that the unaltered Landauer approach yield at virtual interfaces in homogeneous systems are absent in the present NEGF approach. Spectral information result from NEGF in its natural representation without further transformations. The spectral results show that the scattering between different phonon modes plays a crucial role in thermal transport across interfaces. Buttiker probes provide an efficient and reliable way to include anharmonicity in phonon related NEGF. NEGF including the Buttiker probes can reliably predict phonon transport across interfaces and at finite temperatures.
The present study addresses the role of molecular non-equilibrium effects in thermal ignition problems. We consider a single binary reaction of the form A+B -> C+C. Molecular dynamics calculations were performed for activation energies ranging betwee
We present a two-quantum well THz intersubband laser operating up to 192 K. The structure has been optimized with a non-equilibrium Greens function model. The result of this optimization was confirmed experimentally by growing, processing and measuri
Nanofluids are known to have significantly different thermal properties relative to the corresponding conventional fluids. Heat transfer at the solid-fluid interface affects the thermal properties of nanofluids. The current work helps in understandin
Equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are used to calculate the thermal conductivity of the one component plasma (OCP) via the Green-Kubo formalism over a broad range of Coulomb coupling strength, $0.1leGammale180$. These simulations address pre
High-doping induced Urbach tails and band gap narrowing play a significant role in determining the performance of tunneling devices and optoelectronic devices such as tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs), Esaki diodes and light-emitting diodes. In
