Fig. 3: Phonon transport behavior across Al/Si interface computed by molecular dynamics.
From: Inelastic phonon transport across atomically sharp metal/semiconductor interfaces
a Calculated thermal conductance of sharp (red dashed line) and diffuse (blue dashed line) Al/Si interfaces. b Phonon transmission coefficient for sharp (red) and diffuse (blue) interfaces. c Schematic of temperature distributions near the sharp and diffuse interfaces. Here Tp,h and Tp,l represent temperatures of high- and low-energy phonons. ΔTs and ΔTr are temperatures drop across sharp and diffuse interfaces.
