Abstract: As device miniaturization advances, managing heat at the nanoscale becomes increasingly critical. Nanoscale heat transfer presents unique challenges, including size effect, ballistic transport, and complex phonon interactions, ...

Abstract: Nondiffusive phonon transport presents significant challenges in micro/nanoscale thermal characterization, compounded by the limitations of experimental-numerical techniques and the presence of measurement noise. Additionally, ...

Abstract: A thermal rectifier transmits heat asymmetrically, transmitting heat in one direction and acting as an insulator in the opposite direction. For conduction at steady-state, thermal rectification can occur naturally in systems ...

Abstract: In this article, we review thermal transport in polymers with different morphologies from aligned fibers to bulk amorphous states. We survey early and recent efforts in engineering polymers with high thermal conductivity ...
