Course Objectives
This course aims to provide the students with
• the familiarity of the concepts of energy transport at the micro and nanoscale;
• the ability to read and interpret the literature effectively and use the concepts of energy
transport in their further nano-engineering design and research applications.
• the multidisciplinary perspective that will be needed to work effectively in
interdisciplinary environments that are common on various nanotechnology platforms.
Course Content
Concepts of heat transfer at the micro- and nanoscale. Deviation from the macroscopic theory. Energy carries: phonons, photons, electrons. Energy quantization. Energy states in solids. Statistical thermodynamics. Transfer of energy by waves. Particle description of transport processes: Liouville and Boltzmann equations. Size effects on condition, convection and radiation. Selected topics of current interest in nanoscale energy transport.
