Conclusions
•Much to learn about transport of heat across interfaces but we now have good tools.
•Pb/diamond, Bi/diamond interfaces show a temperature dependent conductance far above
the radiation
limit. What is the correct
description of this
inelastic channel?
•Can circumvent the “minimum thermal conductivity” with high densities of
interfaces.
•Conductance of hydrophilic nanoparticle/surfactant/water interfaces is essentially independent of the surfactant
layer.
•Heat transfer is reduced by a factor of 4 at hydrophobic interfaces with water.
