摘要
We develop a Monte-Carlo simulator for phonon transport in nanostructured semiconductors, which solves the phonon Boltzmann transport equation under the gray medium approximation. Proper physical models for the phonon transmission/reflection at an interface between two different materials and proper numerical boundary conditions are designed and implemented carefully. Most of all, we take advantage of geometric symmetry that exists in a system to reduce the computational amount. The validity and accuracy of the proposed MC solver was successfully verified via a I D transient conduction problem and the cross-plane (1D) and in-plane (2D) phonon transport problems associated with Si/Ge superlatice thin films.
