Theoretical study of thermal transport at nano constrictions and nanowires with sawtooth surface roughness

This dissertation is focused on thermal transport at nanometer scale point and line constrictions and in nanowires with sawtooth surface roughness. To better understand thermal transport at a point contact such as that at the tip-sample junction of a scanning probe microscope, a Non Equilibrium Mole...
