Interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) is the main obstacle for heat flows from one material to
another. Understanding ITR becomes essential for the removal of redundant heat from fast …

Conversion of waste heat to voltage has the potential to significantly reduce the carbon
footprint of a number of critical energy sectors, such as the transportation and electricity …

Photothermal catalysis is an emerging sub-discipline of heterogeneous catalysis. It is distinct
from both thermochemical catalysis driven by heat and photochemical catalysis powered by …

We develop a linear-response transport theory of diffusive spin and heat transport by
magnons in magnetic insulators with metallic contacts. The magnons are described by a …

The extremely high thermal conductivities of carbon nanotubes have motivated a wealth of
research. Progress includes innovative conduction metrology based on microfabricated …

Size effects in heat conduction, which occur when phonon mean free paths (MFPs) are
comparable to characteristic lengths, are being extensively explored in many nanoscale …

Advances in the fabrication and characterization of nanoscale systems now allow for a better
understanding of one of the most basic issues in science and technology: the flow of heat at …

The “textbook” phonon mean free path of heat carrying phonons in silicon at room
temperature is∼ 40 nm. However, a large contribution to the thermal conductivity comes …

Although the thermal properties of millimeter-sized carbon nanotube mats and packed
carbon nanofibers have been readily measured, measurements for a single nanotube are …

We predict the bulk thermal conductivity of Lennard-Jones argon and Stillinger-Weber
silicon using the Green-Kubo (GK) and direct methods in classical molecular dynamics …
