Figure Legend:
(a) Periodic nanocomposite with cubic silicon nanoparticles dispersed periodically in a germanium matrix. (b) With the periodic boundary condition dictated in Sec. , the MC simulation of phonon transport in the computational domain (unit cell) represents phonon transport in the whole structure shown in (a). The unit cell (computational domain) is further divided into subcells.
