Abstract

Phonons are fundamental carriers of thermal energy in crystalline solids. Microscopic heat transfer analysis rely on properties and dynamics of phonons. Phonon wave packet method is a molecular dynamics simulation to visualize the phonon dynamics and scattering to calculate the energy transmission coefficient and to study phonon conversion. In this chapter, the machinery and the practice of phonon wave packet method are discussed with applications on carbon nanostructures.
