Top: thermal conductance of kinked nanowires with varying base segment length. Bottom: thermal conductance of MD-simulated nanowires for varying kink angles. Radii of wires varied from 5 to 15 lattice constants. Error bars are 1 standard error. The purple dashed line indicates the thermal conductance of a straight nanowire with similar length, a radius of 10 lattice constants, and the lattice orientation along the [110] direction. The shaded purple area indicates 1 standard error from the dashed line. Right: 2D reference sketches for a system with various bend kink angles with r/l = 1/3 and two lengths of l in each angled segment. This roughly corresponds to the blue squares data set.
