Why is Acoustic Mismatch Important in Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology often involves the integration of different materials at the nanoscale, forming numerous interfaces. The efficiency of heat transfer and acoustic wave propagation across these interfaces is vital for the performance and reliability of nanoscale devices. Acoustic mismatch can cause phonon scattering, leading to thermal resistance and reduced thermal conductivity, which are critical factors in thermal management of nanoscale systems.
