What are the Challenges in Heat Management at the Nanoscale?
Managing heat at the nanoscale presents unique challenges due to the following factors:
High surface area to volume ratio: Nanoscale materials have a larger surface area relative to their volume, which affects heat dissipation. Thermal conductivity: The thermal conductivity of nanomaterials can differ significantly from their bulk counterparts, influencing heat transfer. Material properties: The properties of materials at the nanoscale can change, affecting their thermal behavior.
