What is the role of thermal conductivity in nanotechnology?
Thermal conductivity is a critical property in nanotechnology, especially for applications in electronics and energy storage. At the nanoscale, thermal conductivity can be significantly different due to enhanced phonon scattering and reduced mean free paths of heat carriers. Understanding and manipulating thermal conductivity at the nanoscale enable the design of efficient thermoelectric materials and heat dissipation systems in nanoelectronics.
