Description
Summary:Interfacial thermal resistance (ITR, or Kapitza resistance) is the bottleneck that limits the further growth of density for integrated circuit. In this paper, we study the interfacial thermal coupling between two nonlinear systems by using a one-dimensional FPU-β heterojunction model through molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the ITR first decreases rapidly and then increases slowly with the increase of interface coupling coefficient (ICC). When the nonlinearity is weak, the optimal ICC can be explained by self-consistent phonon theory and effective phonon theory. We also find a double scale behavior in heterojunctions. The study of optimal interfacial thermal coupling for two nonlinear systems has potential applications in reducing the ITR between real materials.
