Academic Press Micro and Nano Thermal Transport: Characterization, Measurement, and Mechanism

Micro and Nano Thermal Transport Research: Characterization, Measurement and Mechanism is a complete and reliable reference on thermal measurement methods and mechanisms of micro and nanoscale materials. The book has a strong focus on applications and simulation, providing clear guidance on how to measure thermal properties in a systematic way. Sections cover the fundamentals of thermal properties before introducing tools to help readers identify and analyze thermal characteristics of these materials. The thermal transport properties are then further explored by means of simulation which reflect the internal mechanisms used to generate such thermal properties. Readers will gain a clear understanding of thermophysical measurement methods and the representative thermal transport characteristics of micro/nanoscale materials with different structures and are guided through a decision-making process to choose the most effective method to master thermal analysis. The book is particularly suitable for those engaged in the design and development of thermal property measurement instruments, as well as researchers of thermal transport at the micro and nanoscale. Review A complete and reliable reference on the specific challenges of measuring and understanding thermal transport in nano and microscale materials From the Back Cover <i>Micro and Nano Thermal Transport Research: Characterization, Measurement and Mechanism</i> is a complete and reliable reference on thermal measurement methods and thermal mechanisms of Micro and Nano materials. Editor Lin and their team of expert contributors compile their experience into this instructive and practical guide to help the reader understand the intricacies of these materials and they way in which they transfer heat. This book has a strong focus on applications and simulation, providing clear guidance on how to measure thermal properties in a systematic way. It begins with the fundamentals of thermal properties and relates those to practice, before introducing tools to help readers identify and analyze thermal characteristics of these materials. The thermal transport properties are then further explored by means of simulation, which reflect the internal mechanisms used to generate such thermal properties.<br><br>Readers gain a clear understanding of thermophysical measurement methods and the representative thermal transport characteristics of micro/nanoscale materials with different structures, and are guided through a decision-making process to choose the most effective method to master thermal analysis. Each measurement procedure undergoes a comparative analysis, to ensure the reader selects the most appropriate and effective method for their own work and research. This book is particularly suitable or those engaged in the design and development of thermal property measurement instruments, as well as researchers of thermal transport at the Micro and Nano scale.
