Thermal transport plays a crucial role in performance and reliability of semiconductor
electronic devices, where heat is mainly carried by phonons. Phonon transport in crystalline …

Thermoelectric films and periodic structures have particularly intriguing electrical and
thermal transport features due to their low dimensionality. As a result, they have piqued the …

This handbook brings readers up to date with advances in thermoelectrics and
thermoelectric generators, as well as the advent of nanotechnology and the explosion of …

The act of position measurement alters the motion of an object being measured. This
quantum measurement backaction is typically much smaller than the thermal motion of a …

We report the thermal conductivity and specific heat of amorphous silicon thin films
measured from<? format?> 5–300 K using silicon-nitride membrane-based …

We study the non-Fourier heat conductions in nanomaterials based on the thermomass
theory. For the transient heat conduction in a one-dimensional nanomaterial with a low …

We present measurements of thermal and electrical conductivity of polycrystalline permalloy
(Ni-Fe), aluminum, copper, cobalt, and nickel thin films with thickness< 200 nm. A …

We present thermal conductivity measurements of micromachined 500 nm thick silicon-
nitride (Si–N) beams suspended between two Si–N islands, in the temperature range from …
