a Schematic of the system of study. A thin film is sandwiched between an adiabatic boundary and a heat sink. Heat generation occurs in a heating zone near the adiabatic boundary. b Simulation cell adopted in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The substrate is pure Si and the heating zone is Si with Ge impurities occupying random sites.
