Recent advances in nanotechnology enables the development of more compact
devices for a variety of scientific and engineering applications at
micro/nanoscale. In such compact systems, the heat transfer processes and
mechanisms can be totally different from those in macroscale. Heat transfer
within matters is often quantified with thermophysical properties, such as
thermal conductivity and specific heat. These thermophysical properties largely
depend on the transport physics of each basic energy carriers, such as phonon,
photon and electron, as well as their interactions in the system. Therefore,
understanding the fundamental transport physics of basic energy carriers and
their interactions is crucial for developing a new type of energy conversion
device as well as a novel thermal energy storage system. With the aims of
contributing to the energy-related technology, the goal of Nanoscale Heat
Transfer Laboratory is to conduct the ‘Application-Driven Fundamental Research’ on the thermal
energy transport at the nanometer scale. Our Lab logo signifies the
aforementioned goal.
