Carbon nanotubes as heat dissipaters in microelectronics
We review our recent modelling work of carbon nanotubes as potential
candidates for heat dissipation in microelectronics cooling. In the first part,
we analyze the impact of nanotube defects on their thermal transport
properties. In the second part, we investigate the loss of thermal properties
of nanotubes in presence of an interface with various substances, including air
and water. Comparison with previous works is established whenever is possible.Comment: 14 pages, 21 figures, 5 table
