Thermal Transport across Solid Interfaces with Nanoscale Imperfections: Effects of Roughness, Disorder, Dislocations, and Bonding on Thermal Boundary Conductance
Figure 8
Room-temperature predicted (line) and measured thermal boundary conductance at Al/Si interfaces plotted as a function of interface roughness. Regardless of the silicon roughening procedure (indicated in the plot), the thermal boundary conductances all follows a similar relationship with RMS roughness.
