Analysis of Thermal Diodes Enabled by Junctions of Phase Change Materials

Materials designed to undergo a phase transition at a prescribed temperature have been advanced as elements for controlling thermal flux. Such phase change materials can be used as components of reversible thermal diodes, or materials that favor heat flux in a preferred direction; however, a thoroug...
