Paper published in Physical Review B and featured in the Virtual Journal of Nanoscale Science and Technology

Our paper,  “Controlling thermal conductance through quantum dot roughening at interfaces,”  was recently published in Physical Review B (Physical Review B 84, 035438 (2011)).  In this work, we show that the thermal boundary conductance at Al/S i interfaces can be controllably manipulated by patterning quantum dots on the Si surface.  This work was also selected to appear in the Virtual Journal of Nanoscale Science and Technology.
