49. Please see Ref. 19 for a transport calculation that includes effects of the mode quantization which arises in a 20 nm Si nanowire.
50. Using a Debye description and a phonon-in-a-box model we estimate the mode quantization as smaller than 5 K even in a 40 nm SiC structure (less in other semiconductors).
51. In fact, our analytical results for the wire and layer/multilayer Knudsenflow suppression apply for transport of general quasiparticles with an isotropic dispersion assuming that the quasiparticles can be ascribed a constant mean free path. Our analytical results should thus be directly applicable also for electronic transport in, for example, thin simple- and noble-metal films and wires.

60. Our result (21) disagrees, however, with the formal result, Eqs. (7)-(9), of Ref. 15 and we suspect a simple typographical error in their Eq. (7) that yields negative results for the thermal conductivity in very thin wires.
