Abstract
Energy transport in nanostructures differs significantly from macrostructures because of classical and quantum size effects on energy carriers. Thermal conductivity of nanostructures is significantly lower than that of their bulk constituent materials. Based on the concept of thermal conductivity, a simulation study is used to demonstrate the nature of heat transfer in Si nanowires (NWs) in this paper.
