Role of crystal structure and junction morphology on interface thermal conductance
Carlos A. Polanco, Rouzbeh Rastgarkafshgarkolaei, Jingjie Zhang +4
We argue that the relative thermal conductance between interfaces with different morphologies is controlled by crystal structure through , the ratio between the {\…
Enhancing phonon flow through 1D interfaces by Impedance Matching
Carlos A. Polanco, Avik W. Ghosh
We extend concepts from microwave engineering to thermal interfaces and explore the principles of impedance matching in 1D. The extension is based on the generalization of acoustic…
Impedance Matching of Atomic Thermal Interfaces Using Primitive Block Decomposition
Carlos A. Polanco, Christopher B. Saltonstall, Pamela M. Norris +2
We explore the physics of thermal impedance matching at the interface between two dissimilar materials by controlling the properties of a single atomic mass or bond. The maximum th…
