Minimum and maximum conductance of a thin film layer bridged interface: the role of anharmonicity and layer thickness
Jingjie Zhang, Rouzbeh Rastgarkafshgarkolaei, Carlos A. Polanco +4
We study the role of anharmonicity at interfaces with an added intermediate layer designed to facilitate interfacial phonon transport. Our results demonstrate that while in the har…
Phonon-mediated thermal transport at exponentially mass-graded interfaces: A computational study
Rouzbeh Rastgarkafshgarkolaei, Jingjie Zhang, Carlos A. Polanco +3
We numerically investigate thermal transport at solid-solid interfaces with graded intermediate layers whose masses vary exponentially from one side to the other. Using Non-Equilib…
Effects of bulk and interfacial anharmonicity on thermal conductance at solid/solid interfaces
Nam Q. Le, Carlos A. Polanco, Rouzbeh Rastgarkafshgarkolaei +3
We present the results of classical molecular dynamics simulations to assess the relative contributions to interfacial thermal conductance from inelastic phonon processes at the in…
Design rules for interfacial thermal conductance - building better bridges
Carlos A. Polanco, Rouzbeh Rastgarkafshgarkolaei, Jingjie Zhang +3
We study the thermal conductance across solid-solid interfaces as the composition of an intermediate matching layer is varied. In absence of phonon-phonon interactions, an added la…
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 {\…
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…
