Thermal resonance induced by quasi-Casimir coupling for innovative nanoscale thermal management
Phonon heat transfer can be induced by quasi-Casimir coupling due to molecular interaction across a nanogap without electromagnetic fields. However, the quasi-Casimir coupling between the nanostructures and adsorbed water layers on the solid surfaces is still open for question. Therefore, we will verify phonon transmission across a nanogap via nanostructures and adsorbed water layers, focusing on quasi-Casimir coupling and thermal resonance.
