Inverse design in nanoscale heat transport via interpolating interfacial phonon transmission

Abstract We introduce a methodology for density-based topology optimization of non-Fourier thermal transport in nanostructures, based upon adjoint-based sensitivity analysis of the phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) and a novel material interpolation technique, the “transmissio...
