Effects of Ultrathin Interlayers on Thermal Boundary Conductance at Metal-Dielectric Interfaces
… the modification of thermal conductance at metal-dielectric interfaces by inserting few-nanometer thick metal interlayers. A thickness-dependent interlayer study suggests that interfacial conductance alters significantly at ultrathin thicknesses before reaching a plateau. Our results reveal …

Thermal transport across transfer printed metal-dielectric interfaces: Influence of contact mechanics and nanoscale energy transport
… thermal conductance of transfer printed metal-dielectric interfaces is ~45 MW/m2K at 300K, approaching that of interfaces formed using physical vapor deposition. In this work, we investigate this anomalous result using a combination of theoretical deformation mechanics and nanoscale …

Thermal boundary resistance
… below 0.2 K with present measurements on metal-dielectric interfaces and with previous measurements at liquid He-solid interfaces. The influence of the electron-phonon interaction on the thermal boundary resistance was studied experimentally, both as a phonon attenuating mechanism which …

Propagation, Scattering and Amplification of Surface Plasmons in Thin Silver Films
… a strong influence on the optical properties of metal micro- and nanostructures and are of great interest for novel photonic devices. Here, plasmons on metal-dielectric interfaces are investigated using near-field optical microscopy and differential angular reflectance spectroscopy. Emphasis is …

Light and Single-molecule Coupling in Plasmonic Nanogaps
Plasmonic cavities confine optical fields at metal-dielectric interfaces via collective charge oscillations of free electrons within metals termed surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). SPPs are confined in nanometre gaps formed between two metallic surfaces which creates an optical resonance. This …
