Heat Transport in Nanoscale Heterosystems: A Numerical and Analytical Study
Figure 1
Result of the numerical integration
of the heat diffusion equation using literature values and (K?m2)/W. (a) shows a temporal and
spatial temperature of a 10?nm thin Bi-film on a Si-Substrate. (b) displays the
temporal surface temperature (distance from surface ?nm) evolution
for different Bi-film-thicknesses. For all numerical integrations, the
thickness of the Si-slab was 100?nm, but for a better representation only the
first 30?nm of the total integration slab are shown in (a). Note, the unusual,
nonlinear color scale in (a) is for descriptive reasons.
