International Journal of Sciences, 2014, vol. 3, issue 12, 24-27

Abstract: To evaluate the phonon thermal transport at the nanoscale of nanotubes and nanowires we can use Boltzmann and Landauer approaches. The Boltzmann equation is coming from a semiclassical formulation, whereas the Landauer equation is based on ballistic models. Here we show, for teaching purposes, a simple manner of linking these two approaches using dimensional equations.
