UCR researchers discover new method to dissipate heat in electronic devices; modulating the flow of phonons
Green Car Congress
NOVEMBER 10, 2016
An international team of scientists led by a researcher at the University of California, Riverside has modified the energy spectrum of acoustic phonons—elemental excitations, also referred to as quasi-particles, that spread heat through crystalline materials like a wave—by confining them to nanometer-scale semiconductor structures.
