Amun passed his doctoral dissertation defense titled: “Thermal Transport across Nanoscale Vacuum Gaps and the Transition to Phonon Heat Conduction” The investigation of thermal transport across extremely small vacuum gap distances is of both practical and fundamental significance. Previous theoretical studies have predicted that in the near-field, or when the emitter-receiver separation is less than […]
