Theoretical atomistic study of thermal transport is conducted for Si/SiO₂ multishell nanotubes, which model rolled-up Si/SiO₂ nanostructures. Phonon modes are obtained within Lattice Dynamics Theory. Thermal conductivity in Si/SiO₂ nanotubes, as calculated using Boltzmann Transport Equation within the relaxation-time approximation, is lower than that in Si nanowires with the same lateral dimensions due to the acoustical mismatch of the materials and a stronger phonon confinement. A large number of phonon modes are scattered on Si/SiO₂ interfaces, what enhances the effect of the boundary scattering mechanism on thermal conductivity of multishell nanotubes. Thermal conductivity is found to decrease almost linearly as a function of the number of Si/SiO₂ bilayers in multishell nanotubes. The present work is supported by the DFG grant no. FO 956/4-1.
