Abstract:Scattering processes at interfaces and free boundaries of solids strongly affect heat transfer in micro- and nanostructures such as integrated circuits, periodic nanostructures, multilayer thin films, and other nanomaterials. Among many influencing factors, surface roughness due to atomic disorder plays a significant role in the rate of thermal transport. Existing approaches have been developed only for the limiting cases of smooth or completely diffuse surfaces. We have developed a new effective and simple me… Show more
