Nanoscale heat flow predictions: Environmentally-friendly and cost-effective nanometric-scale energy devices

more »

Heat flow in novel nanomaterials could help in creating environmentally friendly and cost-effective nanometric-scale energy devices. Physicists are now designing novel materials with physical properties tailored to meet specific energy consumption needs. Before these so-called materials-by-design can be applied, it is essential to understand their characteristics, such as heat flow. Now physicists have developed a predictive theoretical model for heat flux in these materials, using atom-scale calculations.
