Nanoseminar in Physics

IN PERSON EVENT - REGISTER HERE to attend

Speaker: Prof. Masahiro Nomura, Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, Japan

Abstract: After explaining the fundamental physics of nanoscale heat transfer, heat transfer in nano/microstructured semiconductors and 2D materials will be introduced. We will classify the systems by similarities, differences, and hybridization of photons and phonons, and explain the characteristic thermal phonon transport in each system. The prospects of thermal phonon engineering will also be discussed.
