(color online) Plot of the thermal conductivity reduction ratio ξ against doping concentration ρ for30Si randomly doped armchair-edged SNR, calculated with MD simulations (blue solid circle) and mean field model (red circle). In this study, thermal conductivities are normalized by the thermal conductivity of pure28Si SNR. The armchair-edged SNR is 30 nm in length and 3 nm in width.
