Phonon Transport Monte Carlo (MC) This work deals with establishing and testing a phonon transport simulator using the semi-classical MC method. The MC simulator uses a single-phonon approach rather than the typical multi-phonon approach largely available in the literature. Initial simulator results are verified using existing theoretical and experimental works in literature. |

Phonon Transport - Hierarchical Nanostructures (MC) Hierarchical material nanostructuring is a very promising direction for high performance thermoelectric materials. Here in this work we investigate thermal transport in hierarchically nanostructured silicon. We consider the combined presence of nanocrystallinity and nanopores, arranged under both ordered and randomized conditions |
