SPRINGERBRIEFS IN PHYSICS PHONON THERMAL TRAN...

In this Brief  authors introduce the advance in theoretical and experimental techniques for
determining the thermal conductivity in nanomaterials  and focus on review of their recent
theoretical studies on the thermal properties of silicon-based nanomaterials  such as
zero-dimensional silicon nanoclusters  one-dimensional silicon nanowires  and graphenelike
two-dimensional silicene. The specific subject matters covered include: size effect of thermal
stability and phonon thermal transport in spherical silicon nanoclusters  surface effects of
phonon thermal transport in silicon nanowires  and defects effects of phonon thermal transport
in silicene. The results obtained are supplemented by numerical calculations  presented as
tables and figures. The potential applications of these findings in nanoelectrics and
thermoelectric energy conversion are also discussed. In this regard  this Brief represents an
authoritative  systematic  and detailed description of the current status of phonon thermal
transport in silicon-based nanomaterials. This Brief should be a highly valuable reference for
young scientists and postgraduate students active in the fields of nanoscale thermal transport
and silicon-based nanomaterials.
