Analysis and development of particle based heat transport models for use in nanoscale structures.
… model which considers the microscopic nature of heat generation and heat tansport must be used. On the microscale, heat transport can be described by the Boltzmann transport equation for phonons. The complexity and quantity of the phonon anharmonic interactions make a direct numerical solution …

Effect of phonon transport on the Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity of silicon nanowire arrays
Thermoelectrics enable solid-state conversion of heat to electricity by the Seebeck effect, but must provide scalable and cost-effective technology for practical waste heat harvesting. This dissertation explores the thermoelectric properties of electrochemically etched silicon nanowires through …
