THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF N000141410258 - SIZE-DEPENDENT PHONON TRANSPORT IN BORON ARSENIDE WITH POTENTIALLY RECORD-HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY

Abstract

The PI will develop will synthesize, measure thermal transport properties and provide theoretical analysis of boron arsenides. A vapor transport growth method will be used to grow of BAs materials. Sensitive micro-devices will be employed to probe size-dependent thermal transport in BAs wires, platelets, and thin films. A thermal van der Pauw method and a four-probe thermal measurement technique will be developed to evaluate and eliminate the contact thermal resistance error in thermal measurement of high-thermal conductivity solids of irregular shapes. Comparison between the experimental results and theoretical calculations will allow the establishment of new mechanisms for high thermal conductivity.
