The miniaturization in energy devices and their critical needs for heat dissipation have
facilitated research on exceptional thermal properties of novel low-dimensional materials …

Tuning interfacial thermal conductance has been a key task for the thermal management of
nanoelectronic devices. Here, we study how the interfacial thermal conductance is greatly …

Recent advances in fabrication techniques have enabled the development of materials
sculpted at the nanoscale (~ 10 nm). These “nano-materials” could revolutionize thermal …

The vibrational thermal conductances (G) across GaN-AlN interfaces are computed using a
nonequilibrium Green's function formalism in the harmonic limit with bulk and interfacial …

We study propagation of wave packets through the interface between two dissimilar
harmonic chains with on-site potentials (eg, chains lying on elastic foundations). An …

We study the thermal conductance across solid-solid interfaces as the composition of an
intermediate matching layer is varied. In the absence of phonon-phonon interactions, an …

We propose a strategy to potentially best enhance interfacial thermal transport through solid–
solid interfaces by adding nano-engineered, exponentially mass-graded intermediate …

Molecular dynamics simulations provide a versatile framework to study interfacial heat
transport, but their accuracy remains limited by the accuracy of available interatomic …

The fundamental solution describing non-stationary elastic wave scattering on an isotopic
defect in a one-dimensional harmonic chain is obtained in an asymptotic form. The chain is …

We argue that the relative thermal conductance between interfaces with different
morphologies is controlled by crystal structure through M min/M c> 1, the ratio between the …
