Several factors can influence interface resistance, including:
Material Properties: The thermal conductivity and specific heat of the interfacing materials play a crucial role. Interface Quality: Imperfections, voids, and contaminants at the interface can increase resistance. Interfacial Bonding: Stronger chemical bonds at the interface can lead to lower resistance. Temperature: Interface resistance can vary with temperature, often increasing at lower temperatures. Phonon Mismatch: Differences in the vibrational properties of the materials can impede heat flow.
