Abstract The thermal conductivity of GaN nanofilm is simulated by using the molecular dynamics (MD) method to explore the influence of the nanofilm thickness and the pre-strain field under different temperatures. It is demonstrated that the thermal conductivity of GaN nanofilm increases with the increase of nanofilm thickness, while decreases with the increase of temperature. Meanwhile, the thermal conductivity of strained GaN nanofilms is weakened with increasing the tensile strain. The film thickness and environment temperature can affect the strain effect on the thermal conductivity of GaN nanofilms. In addition, the analysis of phonon properties of GaN nanofilm shows that the phonon dispersion and density of states of GaN nanofilms can be significantly modified by the film thickness and strain. The results in this work can provide the theoretical supports for regulating the thermal properties of GaN nanofilm through tailoring the geometric size and strain engineering.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
