Nanomaterials possess excellent structural and physical features, specifically their atomic thinness and superior electrical and semiconducting properties, making them excellent candidates for next-generation nanoelectronic devices. In recent years, thermal management in nanoelectronics has received extensive interest because of the need to remove redundant heat produced by increasingly compact device sizes. Additionally, nanomaterials possess unique thermal transport phenomena, which opens up new opportunities for heat management. This field will potentially push electronics toward new frontiers such as beyond-Si electronics and sensors, superconducting devices, thermal memory, biological electromyography, and more.
The emergence of thermal transport nanomaterials is required for the design of next-generation electronics with ultra-thin layers and multiple interfaces. Indeed, heat extraction is one of the major hurdles to achieving higher-performing devices. Therefore, our goal is to highlight the recent technological advances regarding nanoelectronic devices engineered for optimal heat dissipation.
This Research Topic covers recent findings, reviews, mini reviews, and perspectives on thermal transport in 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D micro/nano-structures. Experimental, computational, and simulation studies will be covered.
