The demand for sophisticated tools and approaches in heat management and control has
triggered the fast development of fields that include conductive thermal metamaterials …

Polymers are usually considered as thermal insulators, and their applications are limited by
their low thermal conductivity. However, recent studies have shown that certain polymers …

A diverse spectrum of technology drivers such as improved thermal barriers, higher
efficiency thermoelectric energy conversion, phase-change memory, heat-assisted magnetic …

Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) material with over 100-fold anisotropy of heat flow
between the in-plane and out-of-plane directions. High in-plane thermal conductivity is due …

This review is an update of a previous review (AJ Minnich, et al., Energy Environ. Sci., 2009,
2, 466) published two years ago by some of the co-authors, focusing on progress made in …

The form of energy termed heat that typically derives from lattice vibrations, ie, phonons, is
usually considered as waste energy and, moreover, deleterious to information processing …

Abstract In 1961, Rolf Landauer argued that the erasure of information is a dissipative
process 1. A minimal quantity of heat, proportional to the thermal energy and called the …

With the advances of the electronics industry, the continuing trend of miniaturization and
integration imposes challenges of efficient heat removal in nanoelectronic devices. Two …

BACKGROUND Transistors are one of the most enabling “hidden” technologies of all time
and have facilitated the development of computers, the Internet, thin mobile displays, and …

This fully updated second edition of The Physics of Phonons remains the most
comprehensive theoretical discussion devoted to the study of phonons, a major area of …
