Thermal Rectification in Nanostructured Boundaries and Interfaces
Thermal rectification is a phenomenon in which thermal transport along a specific axis is dependent upon the sign of the temperature gradient or heat current. The need for thermally rectifying materials and devices is becoming increasingly important for the improved thermal management of micro and n...
