Finite Size Effects in Determination of Thermal Conductivities: Comparing Molecular Dynamics Results With Simple Models
Abstract The thermal conductivity of nanometric objects or nanostructured materials can be determined using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations. The technique is simple in its principle, and resembles a numerical guarded hot plate experiment. The āsampleā is placed between a hot source and a cold source consisting of thermostatted sets ā¦
