摘要:

通过纳米结构的热导率降低,已经在纳米结构中广泛观察到声子热传导中的扩散现象,并在很大程度上用经典尺寸效应来解释,忽略了声子的波动性质。在这里,我们报告的声子热传导的局域化行为,由于多重散射和声子波的干涉,通过测量的GaAs/AlAs超晶格的热导率与ErAs纳米点随机分布在界面上观察到。在室温附近,测得的热导率随着SL周期数的增加而增加,并最终饱和,表明从弹道到扩散运输的过渡。在低温下,ErAs点的样品的热导率首先增加,然后随着周期数的增加而降低,发出声子波本地化的信号。这种安德森局域化行为也通过原子格林函数模拟验证。由于热输运的宽带性质,在热传导中观察到声子局域化是令人惊讶的。这一发现为工程声子热输运提供了一条新的途径。

英文摘要:

Departures in phonon heat conduction from diffusion have been extensively observed in nanostructures through their thermal conductivity reduction and largely explained with classical size effects neglecting phonon's wave nature. Here, we report localization-behavior in phonon heat conduction due to multiple scattering and interference of phonon waves, observed through measurements of the thermal conductivities of GaAs/AlAs superlattices with ErAs nanodots randomly distributed at the interfaces. Near room temperature, the measured thermal conductivities increased with increasing number of SL periods and eventually saturated, indicating a transition from ballistic-to-diffusive transport. At low temperatures, the thermal conductivities of the samples with ErAs dots first increased and then decreased with an increasing number of periods, signaling phonon wave localization. This Anderson localization behavior is also validated via atomistic Green's function simulations. The observation of phonon localization in heat conduction is surprising due to the broadband nature of thermal transport. This discovery suggests a new path forward for engineering phonon thermal transport.
