Heat in most semiconductor materials, including the traditional
group IV elements (Si, Ge, diamond), III-V compounds (GaAs,
wide-bandgap GaN), and carbon allotropes (graphene, CNTs), as well
as emerging new materials like transition metal dichalcogenides
(TMDCs), is stored and transported by lattice vibrations (phonons).
Phonon generation through interactions with electrons (in
nanoelectronics, power, and nonequilibrium devices) and light
(optoelectronics) is the central mechanism of heat dissipation in
nanoelectronics. This book focuses on the area of thermal effects
in nanostructures, including the generation, transport, and
conversion of heat at the nanoscale level. Phonon transport,
including thermal conductivity in nanostructured materials, as well
as numerical simulation methods, such as phonon Monte Carlo,
Green's functions, and first principles methods, feature
prominently in the book, which comprises four main themes: (i)
phonon generation/heat dissipation, (i) nanoscale phonon transport,
(iii) applications/devices (including thermoelectrics), and (iv)
emerging materials (graphene/2D). The book also covers recent
advances in nanophononics-the study of phonons at the nanoscale.
Applications of nanophononics focus on thermoelectric (TE) and
tandem TE/photovoltaic energy conversion. The applications are
augmented by a chapter on heat dissipation and self-heating in
nanoelectronic devices. The book concludes with a chapter on
thermal transport in nanoscale graphene ribbons, covering recent
advances in phonon transport in 2D materials. The book will be an
excellent reference for researchers and graduate students of
nanoelectronics, device engineering, nanoscale heat transfer, and
thermoelectric energy conversion. The book could also be a basis
for a graduate special topics course in the field of nanoscale heat
and energy.
