Significant progress has been made in the past two decades about the micro/nanoscale
heat conduction. Many computational methods have been developed to accommodate the …

Heat conduction in crystalline materials occurs primarily due to propagating vibrational
waves, quantized as phonons. At submicron scales, the phonon mean free paths are often …

The Fourier heat conduction model is valid for most macroscopic problems. However, it fails
when the wave nature of the heat propagation or the time lags become dominant and the …

Non-equilibrium heat conduction, as occurring in modern-day sub-micron semiconductor
devices, can be predicted effectively using the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE) for …

While sub-continuum heat conduction becomes more important as the size of
micro/nanodevices keeps shrinking under the mean free path of heat carriers, its …

Abstract The phonon Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE) is appropriate for modeling heat
conduction in semiconductor materials at the nanoscale. However, the BTE is difficult to …

Abstract The multidimensional phonon Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE) was solved
numerically in cylindrical coordinates and in time domain to simulate a Frequency Domain …

Many applications feature a mix of irregular and regular computational structures. For
example, codes using adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) typically use a collection of regular …

The Fourier and the hyperbolic heat conduction equations were solved numerically to
simulate a frequency-domain thermoreflectance (FDTR) experiment. Numerical solutions …

Research on the heat conduction in nanostructures has drawn much attention due to their
potential applications in thermoelectric devices. Although the phonon tracing Monte Carlo …
