This study examines the nature of thermal transport properties of single layer two-dimensional honeycomb structures of silicon-germanene nanoribbon (SiGeNR), silicene nanoribbon (SiNR) and germanene nanoribbon (GeNR) which have not yet been characterized experimentally. SiGeNR, SiNR and GeNR are the allotropes of silicon-germanium, silicon and germanium, respectively, withsp2hybridization. The thermal conductivity of the materials has been investigated using Tersoff potential through LAMMPS (Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator) by performing the molecular-dynamics simulations. The temperature is varied (50 K, 77 K, 150 K, 300 K, 500 K, 700 K, 1000 K, and 1200 K) with fixed nanoribbon dimension of 50 nm × 10 nm. The length is also varied (10 nm, 20 nm, 30 nm, 40 nm, and 50 nm) while the temperature is fixed at room temperature and the width is also fixed at 10 nm. The obtained results showed that the thermal conductivity of SiGeNR at room temperature is approximately 10 times higher than GeNR and approximately 6 times higher compared to SiNR. The thermal conductivity increases as the temperature is increased from 50 K – 300 K, and as the temperature is further increased, the thermal conductivity decreases with temperature. Moreover, the thermal conductivity in SiGeNR, SiNR, and GeNR increases as the length is being increased. Predicting new features of SiGeNR, SiNR and GeNR open new possibilities for nanoelectronic device applications of group IV two-dimensional materials.

In this article, the effect on the vibrational and thermal properties of gradually interconnected nanoinclusions embedded in an amorphous silicon matrix is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. The nanoinclusion arrangement ranges from an aligned sphere array to an interconnected mesh of nanowires. Wave-packet simulations scanning different polarizations and frequencies reveal that the interconnection of the nanoinclusions at constant volume fraction induces a strong increase of the mean free path of high frequency phonons, but does not affect the energy diffusivity. The mean free path and energy diffusivity are then used to estimate the thermal conductivity, showing an enhancement of the effective thermal conductivity due to the existence of crystalline structural interconnections. This enhancement is dominated by the ballistic transport of phonons. Equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations confirm the tendency, although less markedly. This leads to the observation that coherent energy propagation with a moderate increase of the thermal conductivity is possible. These findings could be useful for energy harvesting applications, thermal management or for mechanical information processing.

The phonon wave packet technique is used in conjunction with the molecular dynamics simulations to directly observe phonon scattering at material interfaces. The phonon transmission coefficient of nanocomposites is examined as a function of the defect size, thin film thickness, orientation of interface to the heat flow direction. To generalize the results based on phonons in a narrow frequency range and at normal incidence, the effective thermal conductivity of the same nanocomposite structure is calculated using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations for model nanocomposites formed by two mass-mismatched Ar-like solids and heterogeneous Si-SiCO2 systems. The results are compared with the modified effective medium formulation for nanocomposites.
