Thermal conductivity of amorphous SiO 2 thin film: A molecular dynamics study

TL;DR: It was found that the thermal conductivity of a-SiO2 thin films is insensitive to the temperature from −55 °C to 150 °C, and in the range of the thickness in this work, the thermal Conductivity of the crystalline SiO2 (c-Si O2) thin films conforms to the T−α with the exponent range, and the thinner films are less sensitive to temperature.
