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 …

This review deals with the nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method applied to the
problems of energy transport due to atomic vibrations (phonons), primarily for small junction …

Recent results on theoretical studies of heat conduction in low-dimensional systems are
presented. These studies are on simple, yet non-trivial, models. Most of these are classical …

In this colloquia review we discuss methods for thermal transport calculations for
nanojunctions connected to two semi-infinite leads served as heat-baths. Our emphases are …

We present heat-transport measurements conducted with a vacuum-operated scanning
thermal microscope to study the thermal conductance of monolayers of nine different alkane …

Despite its intrinsic nonequilibrium origin, thermoelectricity in nanoscale systems is usually
described within a static scattering approach which disregards the dynamical interaction …

We demonstrate that a simple phenomenological approach can be used to simulate
electronic conduction in molecular wires under thermal effects induced by the surrounding …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation based on Langevin equation has been widely used in
the study of structural, thermal properties of matter in different phases. Normally, the atomic …

The temperature of a physical system is operationally defined in physics as “that quantity
which is measured by a thermometer” weakly coupled to, and at equilibrium with the system …

Discrete heat equations for the multilayered periodic systems with allowance for the thermal
resistance between the layers and corresponding dispersion relations in ω− k space have …
