Calculation of the thermal conductivity of superlattices by molecular dynamics simulation

We report on molecular dynamics studies of heat flow in superlattices. The computer simulations are performed using classical mechanics with periodic boundary conditions. We present results for the variation of the conductivity with the repeat distance. We discuss the relation of these results to experimental data in the literature.
