Carbon nanotubes as heat dissipaters in microelectronics
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 its 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. PACS: 65.80.-g, 66.70.Lm, 63.22.Gh, 63.22.Kn, 62.23.Hj, 61.46.Fg

Aligned Carbon Nanotubes to Reduce Contact Thermal Impedance
Introduction Heat dissipation is the most critical problem that limits the performance, power, reliability and further miniaturization of microelectronics. The thermal performance of these devices is greatly affected by the thermal resistance associated with interface between the heat sink and heat source. The improvement of a thermal contact is associated with a decrease of the thermal resista...
متن کاملSingle Walled Carbon Nanotube Effects on Mixed Convection heat Transfer in an Enclosure: a LBM Approach
The effects of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) on mixed convection in a cavity are investigated numerically. The problem is studied for different Richardson numbers (0.1-10), volume fractions of nanotubes (0-1%), and aspect ratio of the cavity (0.5-2.5) when the Grashof number is equal to 103. The volume fraction of added nanotubes to Water as base fluid are lowers than 1% to make dilute ...
متن کاملAb Initio Study of Chirality Effects Onphonon Spectra, Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Nearly Samediameter Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
In this paper, we have used density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) and Pseudo-potential method to calculate the phonon spectrum, phonon density of states (DOS), specific heat capacity and mechanical properties of (5,5) armchair and (9,0) zigzag Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs). Our calculations show that Young’s modulusfor (5,5) and (9,0) nanotubesare higher than 1TPa. We have also ...
