Abstract

Thermal conduction in a symmetrical system composed of two Frenkel–Kontorova (FK) lattices is investigated numerically. We find thermal conduction resonance and reversal phenomena via using numerical computation. There is a driving frequency value where the heat flux reaches the highest value. In particular, the dynamical parameters of the model, such as the lattice period, coupling coefficient, onsite potential, and so on, control the phenomena. This finding suggests that dynamic parameters are crucial to develop thermal rectifier devices.
