The implications of non-uniform heating in nanotechnology are diverse:
Device Performance: Uneven heating can lead to thermal stress and degradation of nanoscale devices, impacting their performance and lifespan. Material Properties: Temperature gradients can alter the morphology and phase of nanomaterials, affecting their properties and functionality. Reaction Rates: In catalysis and chemical reactions, non-uniform heating can result in uneven reaction rates, affecting the yield and selectivity of products.
