Assessing the thermal conductivity of amorphous SiN by approach-to-equilibrium molecular dynamics

Résumé

First-principles molecular dynamics combined with the approach-to-equilibrium molecular dynamics methodology is employed to calculate the thermal conductivity of non-stoichiometric amorphous SiN. This is achieved by implementing thermal transients in five distinct models of different sizes along the direction of the heat transport. Such models have identical structural features and are representative of the same material, thereby allowing for a reliable analysis of thermal conductivity trends as a function of the relevant cell dimension. In line with the known physical law of heat propagation at short scale, the thermal conductivity increases in size with the direction of heat transport. The observed behavior is rationalized accounting for previous results on crystalline and amorphous materials, thus providing a unified description holding for a large class of materials and spanning a wide range of heat propagation lengths.
