Thermal conductivity and interfacial thermal conductance play crucial roles in the design of
engineering systems where temperature and thermal stress are of concerns. To date, a …

Measuring thermal properties of materials is not only of fundamental importance in
understanding the transport processes of energy carriers (electrons and phonons in solids) …

Luminescent ratiometric thermometers combining high spatial and temporal resolution at the
micro-and nanoscale, where the conventional methods are ineffective, have emerged over …

Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) media status, requirements, and challenges to
extend the areal density (AD) of magnetic hard disk drives beyond current records of around …

Abstract Amorphous SiO 2 (a-SiO 2) thin films are widely used in integrated circuits (ICs) due
to their excellent thermal stability and insulation properties. In this paper, the thermal …

Summary The layered compound Mg 3 Sb 2 exhibits low lattice thermal conductivity
comparable with PbTe and Bi 2 Te 3, despite its low density and simple structure. To explain …

Phonons can display both wave-like and particle-like behaviour during thermal transport.
While thermal transport in silicon nanomeshes has been previously interpreted by phonon …

Rigorous temperature measurement employed to characterize physic-chemical state has
compelled scientists to explore more novel materials for contactless optical thermometry …

Temperature measurements ranging from a few degrees to a few hundreds of Kelvin are of
