First-principles simulation of electron mean-free-path spectra and thermoelectric properties in silicon
Bo Qiu,Zhiting Tian,Ajit K. Vallabhaneni,Bolin Liao,Jonathan Mendoza,Oscar D. Restrepo,Xiulin Ruan,Gang Chen +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy-dependent electron scatterings and mean free paths (MFPs) of energy carriers in silicon from first principles are computed and compared to the phonon thermal conductivity accumulation to illustrate the quantitative impact of nanostructuring on electron and phonon transport.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal conductivities of GaAs/AlAs superlattices with ErAs nanodots randomly distributed at the interfaces were measured and shown to indicate a transition from ballistic to diffusive transport.

First-Principles Simulation of Electron Mean-Free-Path Spectra and Thermoelectric Properties in Silicon
Bo Qiu,Zhiting Tian,Ajit K. Vallabhaneni,Bolin Liao,Jonathan Mendoza,Oscar D. Restrepo,Xiulin Ruan,Gang Chen +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compute the energy dependent electron scatterings and mean-free-paths (MFPs) of energy carriers in silicon from first-principles and find that the grain boundaries scatter phonons more significantly than that of electrons due to their disparate MFP distributions.

Lattice thermal conductivity of Bi, Sb, and Bi-Sb alloy from first principles
TL;DR: In this paper, the lattice thermal conductivity of Bi, Sb, and Bi-Sb alloys is calculated using first principles, and the relative contributions from phonons and electrons to the total thermal conductivities as a function of temperature are estimated.
Anderson Localization of Thermal Phonons Leads to a Thermal Conductivity Maximum
Jonathan Mendoza,Gang Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the transition from diffusive to localized transport is identified as the crossover from the multichannel to single-channel transport regime, and single parameter scaling is shown to hold in this crossover regime through the universality of the probability distribution of g, independent of system size and disorder strength.
