Enhancing Thermal Transport at Solid-Solid Interfaces

Abstract

(1) Develop an advanced and comprehensive platform based on the atomistic Green???s function (AGF) method to calculate mode-specific interface transmittance with inclusion of anharmonicity and first-principles force-fields. (2) Connect transport simulations with structural simulations systematically to best represent the real interfacial conditions via density functional theory (DFT) calculations. (3) Pioneer a novel experimental technique to probe thermal transport directly at the interfaces.
