Influence of electrical properties on thermal boundary conductance at metal/semiconductor interface
Quentin Pompidou, Juan Carlos Acosta Abanto, M. Brouillard +10
Recent experimental investigations have demonstrated that doping a semiconductor is a route to increase the thermal boundary conductance at metal/semiconductor interfaces. In this…
Enhanced thermal conductance at interfaces between gold and amorphous silicon and amorphous silica
Julien El Hajj, Christophe Adessi, Michaël de San Feliciano +2
Heat transfer at the interface between two materials is becoming increasingly important as the size of electronic devices shrinks. Most studies concentrate on the interfacial therm…
Atomistic modeling of extreme near-field heat transport across nanogaps between two polar dielectric materials
Yangyu Guo, Mauricio Gómez Viloria, Riccardo Messina +2
The understanding of extreme near-field heat transport across vacuum nanogaps between polar dielectric materials remains an open question. In this work, we present a molecular dyna…
Enhanced Interfacial Thermal Conductance between Charged Nanoparticle and Aqueous Electrolyte
Reza Rabani, Mohammad Hassan Saidi, Ali Rajabpour +2
Heat transfer through the interface between a metallic nanoparticle and an electrolyte solution, has great importance in a number of applications, ranging from nanoparticle-based c…
Radiative heat exchange driven by acoustic vibration modes between two solids at the atomic scale
Mauricio Gómez Viloria, Yangyu Guo, Samy Merabia +2
When two solids are separated by a vacuum gap of thickness smaller than the wavelength of acoustic phonons, the latter can tunnel across the gap thanks to van der Waals forces or e…
Role of Nottingham effect in the heat transfer in extreme near-field regime
Mauricio Gómez Viloria, Yangyu Guo, Samy Merabia +2
We analyze the heat transfer between two metals separated by a vacuum gap in the extreme near-field regime. In this cross-over regime between conduction and radiation, heat exchang…
Wetting controlled boiling at the nanoscale
Oscar Gutiéerrez-Varela, Julien Lombard, Thierry Biben +2
Boiling is the out-of-equilibrium transition which occurs when a liquid is heated above its vaporization temperature. At the nanoscale, boiling may be triggered by irradiated nanop…
Atomistic simulation of phonon heat transport across metallic nanogaps
Yangyu Guo, Christophe Adessi, Manuel Cobian +1
The understanding and modeling of the heat transport across nanometer and sub-nanometer gaps where the distinction between thermal radiation and conduction become blurred remains a…
Interplay of electron and phonon channels in the refrigeration through molecular junctions
Fatemeh Tabatabaei, Samy Merabia, Bernd Gotsmann +2
Due to their structured density of states, molecular junctions provide rich resources to filter and control the flow of electrons and phonons. Here we compute the out of equilibriu…
Critical angle for interfacial phonon scattering: Results from ab initio lattice dynamics calculations
Ali Alkurdi, Stéphane Pailhès, Samy Merabia
Thermal boundary resistance is a critical quantity that controls heat transfer at the nanoscale, which is primarily related to interfacial phonon scattering. Here, we combine latti…
Influence of the electron-phonon interfacial conductance on the thermal transport at metal/dielectric interfaces
J. Lombard, F. Detcheverry, S. Merabia
Thermal boundary conductance at a metal-dieletric interface is a quantity of prime importance for heat management at the nanoscale. While the boundary conductance is usually ascrib…
Thermal conductance at the interface between crystals using equilibrium and non-equilibrium molecular dynamics
Samy Merabia, Konstantinos Termentzidis
In this article, we compare the results of non-equilibrium (NEMD) and equilibrium (EMD) molecular dynamics methods to compute the thermal conductance at the interface between solid…
