Computational Study of Thermal Rectification from Nanostructured Interfaces
Thermal rectification is a phenomenon in which transport is preferred in one direction over the opposite. Though observations of thermal rectification have been elusive, it could be useful in many applications such as thermal management of electronics and improvement of thermoelectric devices. The current work explores the possibility of thermally rectifying devices with the use of nanostructur...

متن کاملAllosteric communication pathways and thermal rectification in PDZ-2 protein: a computational study.
Allosteric communication in proteins is a fundamental and yet unresolved problem of structural biochemistry. Previous findings, from computational biology ( Ota, N.; Agard, D. A. J. Mol. Biol. 2005 , 351 , 345 - 354 ), have proposed that heat diffuses in a protein through cognate protein allosteric pathways. This work studied heat diffusion in the well-known PDZ-2 protein, and confirmed that th...
متن کاملGiant Thermal Rectification from Polyethylene Nanofiber Thermal Diodes.
The realization of phononic computing is held hostage by the lack of high-performance thermal devices. Here, it is shown through theoretical analysis and molecular dynamics simulations that unprecedented thermal rectification factors (as large as 1.20) can be achieved utilizing the phase-dependent thermal conductivity of polyethylene nanofibers. More importantly, such high thermal rectification...
متن کاملThermal rectification through vacuum.
We propose a mechanism for photon mediated thermal rectification through vacuum relying only on the temperature dependence of electromagnetic resonances. We also propose an example implementation consisting of two polytypes of silicon carbide, which exploits the interaction of temperature dependent surface phonon polaritons to achieve significant rectification.
