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 …

Interfacial thermal resistance is the primary impediment to heat flow in materials and devices
as characteristic lengths become comparable to the mean‐free paths of the energy carriers …

The thermal conductivities of materials are extremely important for many practical
applications, such as in understanding the thermal balance and history of the Earth, energy …

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

Following the emergence of many novel two-dimensional (2D) materials beyond graphene,
interest has grown in exploring implications for fundamental physics and practical …

Polymers have many desirable properties for engineering systems–eg, low mass density,
chemical stability, and high strength-to-mass ratio–but applications of polymers in situations …

With the appearance of energy crisis, greenhouse effect, and heat management problem,
the control especially the active and reversible control of heat transport or thermal …

Because of their weak interlayer bonding, van der Waals (vdW) solids are very sensitive to
external stimuli such as strain. Experimental studies of strain tuning of thermal properties in …

Earth's core is composed of iron (Fe) alloyed with light elements, eg, silicon (Si). Its thermal
conductivity critically affects Earth's thermal structure, evolution, and dynamics, as it controls …

Using a first-principles approach based on density functional perturbation theory and an
exact numerical solution to the phonon Boltzmann equation, we show that application of …
