Abstract
Thermal conductivity of silicon and porous silicon nanowires based on the equation of phonon radiative transport is theoretically evaluated. The thermal conductivities of silicon nanowires with square cross-sections are found to match molecular dynamics simulation results reasonably well. It is shown that the results of meso-porous silicon nanowires are about two orders of magnitude lower than that of silicon nanowires in a wide range of temperature (50 K-300 K).
