Thermophysical properties of multilayered structures

Theory of Nonlinear s-Polarized Phonon-Polaritons in Multilayered Structures

A theory is presented for the dispersion relations of the nonlinear phonon-polaritons arising when phonons are coupled to the electromagnetic waves in multilayered structures of nonlinear materials. The calculations are applied to a multilayered structure consisting of a thin film surrounded by semi-infinite bounding media where each layer may have a frequency dependent dielectric function and ...

Thermophysical Properties of Supercritical Fluids

This article presents a general introduction to the physics and dynamics of supercritical fluids and the critical point. It is organized in two parts: In a first section, the nature of the critical point is discussed and its influence on the properties of supercritical fluids is presented; In a second section, we then examine the dynamic processes induced by these peculiar properties, concentra...

Thermophysical properties study of micro/nano materials

Thermal transport in micro/nano materials is very critical, not only because the thermal property may have important influence on the performance of the materials, but also because the change of this property can reflect the inner structure change. Due to the complicated structure and small scale, the thermal properties of biomaterials, such as silkworm silk, spider silk and human head hair, ar...
