In this paper, we study systematically one- and two-dimensional thermal transistors. In particular, we show how to improve significantly the efficiency of the one-dimensional thermal transistor. The study is also extended to the design of two-dimensional thermal transistor by coupling different anharmonic lattices such as the Frenkel-Kontorova and the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattices. Analogy between anharmonic lattices and single-walled carbon nanotube is drawn and possible experimental realization with multi-walled nanotube is suggested. ©2008 The Physical Society of Japan. | Source Title: | Journal of the Physical Society of Japan | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/98372 | ISSN: | 00319015 | DOI: | 10.1143/JPSJ.77.054402 |
