We report on molecular dynamics calculations of the thermal conductivity of superlattices in the direction parallel to the layers. We employ a simple, classical, fcc model that is designed to model the GaAs/AlAs system. Both rough and perfect interfaces are considered. The results are compared to experimental data from the literature.
