Impact of Mass and Bond Energy Difference and Interface Defects on Thermal Boundary Conductance

Many portions of energy generated in the U.S. are not used and take the form of wasted heat due to a poor heat transfer efficiency. This fact leads research communities to focus on thermoelectrics as a means for using waste heat through direct thermal to electrical energy conversion. One way to enha...
