Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the phonon transport in molecular dynamics
(MD) simulations. The chapter presents a formulation for studying the thermal transport in …

Heating and heat conduction in molecular junctions are considered within a general
nonequilibrium Green's function formalism. We obtain a unified description of heating in …

The miniaturization, integration and compatibilization of electronic devices dictate the need
for efficient thermal management to prevent heat accumulation, which may reduce the …

By using molecular dynamics simulations, we have studied heat flux in graphene Y junctions
with lengths of 16.7 nm. It is found that the heat flux runs preferentially from the branches to …

While heating of a current carrying Ohmic conductors is an obvious consequence of the
diffusive nature of the conduction in such systems, current-induced cooling has been …

Due to their ultra-high thermal conductivity, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have become a hot
spot for thermal enhancement materials. However, many researchers have found that the …

Thermal and electrical conductivity are the two most critical material properties in the design
