Calculated thermal conductivity of bulk silicon and Si-nanostructures. The thermal conductivity of bulk Si, bulk Sib (predicted by Zhou62), <111> direction Si-NW, <110> surface Si-NW (predicted by Zhou62), <100> direction Si-NW (predicted by Donadio63), Si-NS9.3, Si-NS12.8, and Si-NS15.2. Gray area is the fluctuant range of the thermal conductivity for nanosheets. The model systems studied in this work for bulk silicon, silicon nanosheet with <110> zone axis orientation, and silicon nanowire of which the large dimension is along <111> direction, are shown as insets
