Impacts of doping on thermal and thermoelectric properties of nanomaterials

Abstract

Thermal transport in nanoscale structures has attracted an increasing interest in the last two decades. On the one hand, the low dimensional nanostructured materials are platforms for testing novel phonon transport theories. On the other hand, nanomaterials are promising candidates for nanoscale on-chip coolers. This review is focused on the thermal conductance, thermoelectric property, and impacts of doping on these properties.
