Thermal rectification as a new phenomenon is attracting great attention. Thermal rectification in silicon nanowires with axial mass gradient is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. The results of the simulations show that the thermal conductivities are different for the heat flux with opposite directions. The rectification efficiency becomes larger when the mass gradient increases. The effect of temperature gradient on the thermal rectification is also considered. The phonon density of states is calculated to explain the phenomenon. It is found that the interface is responsible to the thermal rectification.

The thermal rectification at the interface of double-layered nanofilm is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the interfacial thermal resistance is asymmetric, namely, it depends on the direction of heat flow across the interface. And at high temperature, the rectification of interfacial thermal resistance decreases with increasing temperature. The simulation results also demonstrated that the rectifying effects can not be interpreted only by temperature difference at interface.
