Transport regimes in quasiballistic heat conduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transient grating (TG) spectroscopy is an important experimental technique to measure mean-free-path (MFP) spectra using observations of quasiballistic heat conduction. To obtain MFP spectra, the measurements must be interpreted within the framework of the frequency-dependent Boltzmann transport equation (BTE), but previous solutions have restricted validity due to simplifying assumptions. Here we analyze heat conduction in TG using a new analytical solution of the frequency-dependent BTE that accurately describes thermal transport from the diffusive to ballistic regimes. We demonstrate that our result enables a more accurate measurement of MFP spectra and thus will lead to an improved understanding of heat conduction in solids.

Disparate quasiballistic heat conduction regimes from periodic heat sources on a substrate
We report disparate quasiballistic heat conduction trends for periodic nanoscale line heaters deposited on a substrate, depending upon whether measurements are based on the peak temperature of the heaters or the temperature difference between the peak and the valley of two neighboring heaters. The degree of quasiballistic transport is characterized by the effective thermal conductivities of the...
متن کاملMultidimensional quasiballistic thermal transport in transient grating spectroscopy
Transient grating spectroscopy has emerged as a useful technique to study thermal phonon transport because of its ability to perform thermal measurements over length scales comparable to phonon mean free path (MFPs). Although several prior works have performed theoretical studies of quasiballistic heat conduction in transient grating, the analysis methods are either restricted to one spatial di...
متن کاملRadial Quasiballistic Transport in Time-Domain Thermoreflectance Studied Using Monte Carlo Simulations
Recently, a pump beam size dependence of thermal conductivity was observed in Si at cryogenic temperatures using time-domain thermal reflectance (TDTR). These observations were attributed to quasiballistic phonon transport, but the interpretation of the measurements has been semi-empirical. Here we present a numerical study of the heat conduction that occurs in the full 3D geometry of a TDTR ex...

متن کاملPhonon heat conduction in layered anisotropic crystals
The thermal properties of anisotropic crystals are of both fundamental and practical interest, but transport phenomena in anisotropic materials such as graphite remain poorly understood because solutions of the Boltzmann equation often assume isotropy. Here, we extend an analytic solution of the transient, frequencydependent Boltzmann equation to highly anisotropic solids and examine its predic...
