Thermal Transport across Solid Interfaces with Nanoscale Imperfections: Effects of Roughness, Disorder, Dislocations, and Bonding on Thermal Boundary Conductance
Figure 6
Thermal boundary conductance of a series of Cr/Si interfaces as a function of CrSi mixed layer thickness [22]. For comparison, I also show the thermal boundary conductance from the Al/Cu interfaces reported by Gundrum et al. [28] and discussed in Section 5. Compositional mixing leads to a decrease in both electron- and phonon-dominated thermal boundary conductance.
