The effect of surface roughness on thermal and acoustic phonon transport in nanowires and nanomembranes

Ghossoub, Marc G.University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign2016

… solid. The interaction of phonons with crystal surfaces is of fundamental interest in thermal transport as well as in acoustics. This thesis focuses on understanding how surface roughness influences phonon transport through thermal and acoustic transport measurements in nanostructures with …
