Thermal Conductivity in Nanoporous Gold Films during Electron-Phonon Nonequilibrium

The reduction of nanodevices has given recent attention to nanoporous materials due to their structure and geometry. However, the thermophysical properties of these materials are relatively unknown. In this article, an expression for thermal conductivity of nanoporous structures is derived based on...
