In general, it is expected that the interface cou- plings result in the suppression of heat conduction through the coupled system due to the additional interface phonon-phonon scattering. In the present paper, it is found that the thermal conductivity increases with increasing intensity of interface interactions for weak inter-chain couplings, whereas the heat conduction is suppressed by the interface interaction in the case of strong inter-chain couplings. Based on the phonon spectral energy density method, we demonstrate that the enhance- ment of energy transport results from the excited phonon modes （in addition to the intrinsic phonon modes）, while the strong interface phonon-phonon scattering results in the suppressed energy transport.展开更多
