Publisher's Synopsis
This book brings together leading names in the field of nanoscale energy transport to provide a comprehensive and insightful review of this developing topic. The text covers new developments in the scientific basis and the practical relevance of nanoscale energy transport, highlighting the emerging effects at the nanoscale that qualitatively differ from those at the macroscopic scale.
Divided into two parts, the first section focuses on emerging theory and computational methods, while the second examines the development of experimental techniques and practical applications enabled by fundamental advancements. Throughout the book, microscopic energy carriers are discussed, including photons, electrons and magnons. State-of-the art computational and experimental nanoscale energy transport methods are reviewed, and a broad range of materials system topics are considered, from interfaces and molecular junctions to nanostructured bulk materials.
Nanoscale Energy Transport is a valuable reference for researchers in physics, materials, mechanical and electrical engineering, and it provides an excellent resource for graduate students.
