Abstract: It has recently been demonstrated that under certain conditions of electron nonequilibrium, electron to substrate energy coupling could represent a unique mechanism to enhance heat flow across interfaces. In this work, we ...

Abstract: In this study, we calculate the steady-state temperature rise that results from laser heating of multilayer thin films using the heat diffusion equation. For time- and frequency-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR and FDTR) ...

Abstract: This review introduces relevant nanoscale thermal transport processes that impact thermal abatement in power electronics applications. Specifically, we highlight the importance of nanoscale thermal transport mechanisms at ...
