[1011] Scanning Thermal Microscopy on 2D Materials at cryogenic temperatures

Thermal transport in Graphene is of great interest due to its high thermal conductivity, for both fundamental research and future applications such as heat dissipation in electronic devices. Although, the thermal conductivity of graphene can reduce depending on the coupling to the substrate [1]. In this work, we report high-resolution imaging of nanoscale thermal transport in single and few lay...

Oscillatory Flow Forced Convection in Micro Heat Spreaders

A new micro heat spreader (MHS) concept for efŽ cient transport of large, concentrated heat loads is introduced. The MHS is a single-phase, closed micro uidic system, which utilizes reciprocating ̄ow forced convection. This micro uidic device has the potential to control transient heat loads by active control strategies. Hence, it can be utilized in various thermal management applications, mai...

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Thin Films with Rough and Asymmetric Interfaces

Thermal rectification is a phenomenon in which thermal 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 problems at the micro/nano scale for electronics cooling. The current work explores the possibility of thermal rectifying devices with the use of interf...
