The phonon wave packet technique is used in conjunction with the molecular dynamics simulations to directly observe phonon scattering at material interfaces. The phonon transmission coefficient of nanocomposites is examined as a function of the defect size, thin film thickness, orientation of interface to the heat flow direction. To generalize the results based on phonons in a narrow frequency range and at normal incidence, the effective thermal conductivity of the same nanocomposite structure is calculated using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations for model nanocomposites formed by two mass-mismatched Ar-like solids and heterogeneous Si-SiCO2 systems. The results are compared with the modified effective medium formulation for nanocomposites.

Molecular dynamics simulations of the seeded solidification of silicon along <100>, <110>, <111> and <112> directions have been carried out. The Tersoff potential is adopted for computing atomic interaction. The control of uniaxial strains in the seed crystals is enabled in the simulations. The results show that the dislocation forms stochastically at the crystal/melt interface, with the highest probability of the formation in <111> growth, which agrees with the prediction from a previously proposed twinning-associated dislocation formation mechanism. Applications of the strains within a certain range are found to inhibit the {111}-twinning-associated dislocation formation, while beyond this range they are found to induce dislocation formation by different mechanisms.
