One-dimensional chains are used as a fundamental model of condensed matter, and have
constituted the starting point for key developments in nonlinear physics and complex …

Energy transfer in small nano-sized systems can be very different from that in their
macroscopic counterparts due to reduced dimensionality, interaction with surfaces, disorder …

Recent results on theoretical studies of heat conduction in low-dimensional systems are
presented. These studies are on simple, yet non-trivial, models. Most of these are classical …

With focus on anharmonic chains, we develop a nonlinear version of fluctuating
hydrodynamics, in which the Euler currents are kept to second order in the deviations from …

Fascinating phenomena can occur as charge and/or energy carriers are confined in one
dimension,,–. One such example is the divergent thermal conductivity (κ) of one-dimensional …

We present a series of molecular dynamics, lattice dynamics, and Boltzmann transport
equation calculations aimed at understanding heat transport in Silicon nanowires. In …

An introduction to polymers and their thermal conductivity is provided, with particular
attention paid to recent work that has highlighted the potential to make high thermal …

This review summarizes recent studies of thermal transport in nanoscaled semiconductors.
Different from bulk materials, new physics and novel thermal properties arise in low …

We investigate the thermal conductivity of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) either
isolated or in contact with external media by using equilibrium molecular dynamics and the …

The thermal conductivity of nanostructures generally decreases with decreasing size
because of classical size effects. The axial thermal conductivity of polymer chain lattices …
