Abstract
In the present work, we demonstrate the ability of a technique based on Monte Carlo resolution of the Boltzmann transport equation associated to the Green–Kubo autocorrelation of the phonon heat flux to predict, at thermal equilibrium, the thermal conductivity tensor of nanoporous structures. This methodology, which is derived from a former work [D. Lacroix, M. Isaiev, G. Pernot, Phys. Rev. B 104, 165 202 (2021)] developed in the case of bulk systems, is used to predict thermal transport properties of Si porous matrices and Si phononic membranes at room temperature. A broad range of porosities and different pore network organizations are considered. Our results are compared to available experimental data and former modeling techniques. In addition, analytical models based on the phonon mean free path are detailed and compared to numerical simulations.
