Abstract

We compare the thermal conductance of SH mode and mixing mode of acoustic phonons in a double T-shaped quantum waveguide at low enough temperatures by using the scattering-matrix method, and analyze the influence from mode conversion. Our results show that the small changes of the geometric parameters can induce different variation on the thermal conductivity, where the effect of the stub height of SH wave is the strongest. Moreover, the mode conversion plays an important role on the thermal conductivity, especially at the higher temperatures, and the coupling effect between two stubs at mixing mode is larger than that at single SH mode.
