Thermal transport in twinning superlattice and mixed-phase GaAs nanowires
Bibliographic record
Abstract
With continuing advances in semiconductor nanowire (NW) growth technologies, synthesis of tailored crystal structures is gradually becoming a reality. Mixtures of the bulk zinc blende (ZB) and wurtzite (WZ) phase can be achieved in III-V NWs under various growth conditions. Among the possible crystal structures, the twinning superlattice (TSL) has attracted particular interest for tuning photonic and electronic properties. In this work, we investigated the mechanisms underlying thermal transport in pristine, TSL, and disordered polytypic GaAs NWs, using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics and transmission spectra obtained from the atomistic Green's function method. We found that a TSL period of 50 Å minimizes the thermal conductivity and determine a phonon coherence length of about 20 to 50 nm, depending on the NW diameter. Our findings indicate strong dependence of the thermal conductivity on the NW surface and internal structure at a given diameter, critical for thermoelectric optimization.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
