Abstract

A Modified Monte-Carlo Method (MMCM) in which phonon bundles take non-energy is developed to model the steady state phonon radiative transfer in nanoscale materials. Heat transfer in silicon thin films is analyzed to examine the validity of the developed method. The temperature distributions and cross-plane thermal conductivity are determined by using the developed method for the silicon thin films and compared with the results in reference. The results indicate that the developed method has a good accuracy in solving the phonon radiative transfer in nanoscale materials. In addition, numerical accuracy can be improved by the increase of the number of samples in the simulations.
