Tuning Heat Transport in 2D Materials with Defects
The unstoppable race towards miniaturization is pushing the limits of electronics. This has to be conciliated with the inevitable Joule heating that affects all electronic devices, ultimately compromising miniaturization itself, as denser circuits require improved thermal management. Understanding and eventually controlling heat transport at the nanometer scale will lay the foundation for the design of present and future electronics, where the use of complex architectures and new nanomaterials, such as two-dimensional (2D) materials, holds a great potential. At such scales, atomic-scale defects, which are present everywhere in nature, play a fundamental role as just a single defect can…
