Experimental investigations of solid-solid thermal interface conductance
Understanding thermal interface conductance is important for nanoscale systems where interfaces can play a critical role in heat transport. In this thesis, pump and probe transient thermoreflectance methods are used to measure the thermal interface conductance between solid materials. Two …

Experimental studies of heat transport across material interfaces at the nano and micro scales
… to have precise knowledge of materials' thermal properties at the nano and micro scales. Here we present a series of experimental studies of heat transport for two different types of material: a two dimensional (2D) material such as MoS2 and micron scale particles. We used frequency …

Physical and practical limits of a biomolecular control system using nanoparticles and electromagnetic field irradiation
… pump-probe experiments that show the thermal interface conductance (G) of NPs is critical to nanoscale thermal transport, and that G is a strong function of the NP's surface chemistry. The thesis concludes that an ultrafast pulsed laser actuated biomolecular activity switch is feasible …

System Design, Fabrication, and Characterization of Thermoelectric and Thermal Interface Materials for Thermoelectric Devices
… characterize the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and the Seebeck coefficient over the temperature range of potential use. However, despite considerable research on thermoelectric materials for decades, there is still significant scatter and disagreement in the literature …

Atomistic and mesoscopic simulations of heat transfer across heterogeneous material interfaces
<p>The study of heat transfer and the associated thermal interface resistance at heterogeneous material interfaces is over 70 years old since the first measurements of thermal interface resistance by Kapitza in 1941. However, recent developments in experimental metrology techniques that enable …
