Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Silicene, the Si counterpart of graphene, has received intense research interest lately. Given the fact that thermal transport plays a critical role in many applications such as heat dissipation in nanoelectronics and thermoelectric energy conversion, there has been an emerging demand in characterizing thermal (mainly phonons) transport property of silicene structures. Moreover, silicene exhibits a few novel thermal transport properties, which are fundamentally different from that of graphene, despite the similarity of their honeycomb lattice structure. Therefore, the abnormal physical property, primarily stemming from its unique low buckling structure, may enable silicene to open up entirely new possibilities for revolutionary electronic devices and energy conversion materials. With this state of the art, in this project we performed theoretical investigations of thermal transport of silicene nanostructures in various forms. Heat transfer in such structures is not only directly relevant to optimizing the relevant device performance such as improved thermal management for nanoelectronics and thermoelectric energy conversion efficiency, but also is a scientifically fundamental problem for many other similar two-dimensional systems. The research effort conducted in this project provide a major advancement to the fundamental understanding of thermal transport mechanism of silicene and more broadly two-dimensional materials, with the potential to make a clear contribution to development of high performance nanoelectronics and the energy needs of the future.
