Total thermal conductance K as a function of the reduced temperature k _B T / ħ Δ for different radii r ₂. Curves a , b , c , d , and e are for r ₂ = 10, 12, 15, 8, and 5 nm, respectively. Solid and dashed curves correspond to the scattering region with material GaAs and AlAs, respectively. The other geometrical parameters are identical to those in Fig. 2 .
