Energy relaxation and thermal rectification in carbon devices
… in the device because SiO$_2$ has a much lower thermal conductivity (1.4 W/m-K) than silicon (150 W/m-K). This leads to self-heating, mobility degradation and unreliable performance over time. This work examines the physics of energy relaxation in nanoscale transistors based on new popular …
