Thermal phonon boundary scattering in anisotropic thin films

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Minnich | First 5 Authors: Austin J. Minnich, , , , | Summary: Boundary scattering of thermal phonons in thin solid films is typically analyzed using Fuchs-Sondheimer theory, which provides a simple equation to calculate the reduction of thermal conductivity as a function of the film thickness. However, this widely-used equation is […]
