N2 - Understanding thermal transport in silicon nanowires (SiNWs) has practical and academic importance given the modern electronic and thermoelectric applications of these materials. Adjustment of the phonon thermal conductivity of SiNWs through surface effects has become a research hotspot in recent years. In this chapter, we briefly review the recent progress made in the investigation of phonon thermal transport properties in one-dimensional SiNWs through experiments and theoretical calculations. We emphasize the surface effects of tunable phonon thermal conductivity, including surface roughness, surface functionalization, surface/shell doping, surface disorder, and surface softening. This chapter concludes that surface engineering methods are effective for tuning nanoscale thermal transport and may foster further advancements in this field. © 2018, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
