摘要：

I) Understanding Phonon Transport in Amorphous Solids

The phonon gas model (PGM) originated from the behaviors observed and rationalized in homogenous crystalline solids and it has exhibited remarkable success in describing the behavior of a wide variety of solids, microstructures, nanostructures and molecules. Given its success, it has become the primary lens with which phonon transport is viewed. However for amorphous materials, or other structurally/compositionally disordered systems, due to the lack of periodicity, one cannot clearly define the group velocity. Since the PGM hinges on knowledge of the group velocities, application of the PGM to amorphous materials is highly questionable.

I developed a new method for direct calculation of the modal contributions to thermal conductivity, which is termed Green-Kubo modal analysis (GKMA). The GKMA method combines the lattice dynamics formalism with the Green-Kubo formula for thermal conductivity, such that the thermal conductivity becomes a direct summation of modal contributions, where one need not define the phonon velocity. The predicted temperature dependent thermal conductivity for amorphous silicon (a-Si)5 amorphous silica (a-SiO2), and amorphous carbon (a-C) shows the best agreement with experiments to date.

II) Understanding Divergent Thermal Conductivity in Single Polythiophene Chains

In 1955 Fermi, Pasta, and Ulam (FPU)made a“shocking little discovery”that even an anharmonic system can exhibit infinite thermal conductivity. The class of materials that most closely resemble the 1D chains that have been studied previouslyare polymers, specifically individual polymer molecules. Towards improving understanding of this phenomenon, I sought out to answer several key questions that lingered from previous analysis.

I used molecular dynamics simulations, the Green-Kubo Modal Analysis (GKMA) method as well as sonification to study the modal contributions to thermal conductivity in individual polythiophene chains. The simulations suggest that it is possible to achieve divergent/infinite thermal conductivity in individual polythiophene chains and the GKMA method allowed for exact pinpointing of the modes responsible for the anomalous behavior.

III) Design and Manufacture High Thermal Conductivity Polymer Composites

Recent experimental work has shown that mechanical stretching can increase polymer chain alignment in the stretching direction and the thermal conductivity can increase by more than two orders of magnitude. The studies where such high thermal conductivities were obtained, however, employed fabrication methods that are far from scalable. Part of my Ph.D. research is to develop of a scalable manufacturing process for machinable, high thermal conductivity, polymer composite bulk materials, which can be used as heat spreading chassis materials. I will show that we are able to reach more than 100 W/mK axial/in-plane thermal conductivity using a combination of mechanical stretched polymer fibers and high thermal conductivity graphite fillers.
