Abstract

We have introduced a theory for the calculation of thermodynamic characteristics for some characteristic nanostructures (ultrathin films and superlattices), using the adapted method of two-time temperature Green's functions. In this paper, he has determined the coefficient of thermal conductivity using the definition of free energy and then compared their temperature dependence to the thermal conductivity behavior of the bulk structures. For the observed nanostructures, the thermal conductivity coefficient values are almost equal at low temperatures, but at the same time, significantly lower than the bulk sample values. That result could be useful for the possible achievement of better superconducting conditions in the observed compound nanostructures.
