Caption

The optimum nanostructure designed with MI (aperiodic superlattice structure) was actually fabricated, and the optimal performance was verified by assessing its thermal conductivity. Figure: the Actual Structure is the electron microscope image of the fabricated sample. In addition, by further analyzing the phonon transport in the optimal structure, the mechanism that reduces thermal conductivity was clarified.
