Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Thermal Conductivity of 3C-SiC Nanowire

Article Preview

Abstract:

SiC is one of the most important third-generation semiconductors, which has important application value. Based on the nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics method, a model of 3C-SiC nanowire is proposed, and thermal transport under different temperatures is investigated. The results show about 200K the thermal conductivity of 3C-SiC nanowire approaches to the peak 7.84W/m.K.
