A new formalism for extracting the modal contributions to thermal interface conductance with full inclusion of anharmonicity is presented. The results indicate that when two materials are joined a new set of vibrational modes are required…
We show that the centroid molecular dynamics (CMD) method provides a realistic way to calculate the thermal diffusivity $a=\lambda/\rho c_{\rm V}$ of a quantum mechanical liquid such as para-hydrogen. Once $a$ has been calculated, the…
We present a new method for introducing stable non-equilibrium concentration gradients in molecular dynamics simulations of mixtures. This method extends earlier Reverse Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics (RNEMD) methods which use kinetic…
The methods of non-equilibrium thermodynamics of systems with an interface have been applied to the study of transport processes in semiconductor junctions. A complete phenomenological model for drift-diffusion processes in a junction has…
An intrinsic feature of nearly all internal interfaces in crystalline systems (homo- and hetero-phase) is the presence of disconnections (topological line defects constrained to the interface that have both step and dislocation character).…
Different molecular dynamics methods like the direct method, the Green-Kubo (GK) method and homogeneous non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (HNEMD) method have been widely used to calculate lattice thermal conductivity ($\kappa_\ell$). While…
Integrable and non-integrable systems have very different transport properties. In this work, we highlight these differences for specific one dimensional models of interacting lattice fermions using numerical exact diagonalization. We…
Existing theoretical models of the interfacial thermal conductance, i.e., Kapitza conductance, of insulating solid-fluid interfaces only consider bulk properties, e.g., acoustic mismatch model and diffuse mismatch model. In this work, we…
We study the nonlinear interfacial thermal transport across atomic junctions by the quantum self-consistent mean field (QSCMF) theory based on nonequilibrium Green's function approach; the QSCMF theory we propose is very precise and matches…
We use reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD) simulations to determine the thermal conductivity in $\alpha$-RDX in the <100>, <010>, and <001> crystallographic directions. Simulations are carried out with the Smith-Bharadwaj…
We theoretically explore the influence of end-group chemistry (bond stiffness and mass) on the interfacial thermal conductance at a gold-alkane interface. We accomplish this using the Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) coupled with…
Interfacial thermal resistance has been often estimated and understood using the Landauer formalism that assumes incident phonons with equilibrium distribution. However, previous studies suggest that phonons are out-of-equilibrium near the…
Nanoscale hot spots forming tens of nanometers beneath the gate in advanced FinFET and HEMT devices drive heat transport into a non-Fourier regime, challenging conventional (Fourier-based) finite-element (FEM) analyses and complicating…
Due to the rapid development of micro- and nano-manufacturing and electronic devices, heat transfer at the transition regime between radiation and conduction becomes increasingly important. Recent work has demonstrated the importance of…
In this paper, a hybrid quasi-static atomistic simulation method at finite temperature is developed, which combines the advantages of MD for thermal equilibrium and atomic-scale finite element method (AFEM) for efficient equilibration. Some…
Solid/liquid interfaces control various processes of technological relevance in the process industry and many fundamental physicochemical phenomena. This work examines the link between the atomistic description of mass transfer at…
The engineering problems involving clay under non-isothermal conditions (e.g., geothermal energy harvest, landfill cover system, and nuclear waste disposal) are multiscale and multiphysics by nature. The nanoscale hydrodynamics of clay at…
Among all the properties required for the design of the next generation of PCM (density, heat capacity, thermal expansion, latent energy, volume change upon melting, corrosion rate, etc.) the thermal transport properties are by far the…
Thermal management at silicon-diamond interface is critical for advancing high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this study, we calculate the interfacial thermal conductance between silicon and diamond using machine…
Whether diffuse mismatch model for electrons (DMMe) hold true in more general cases remains largely unexplored, especially in cases where at least one material does not behave like a free-electron metal and/or the interface is smooth enough…
