Heat generation is a ‘hot topic’ in todays planning and manufacturing of electronic devices e.g. microprocessors. The management of this heat is a the mostimportant challenge in the design of new IC. Therefore, a book explaining theory and existing state-of-the-art technologies plus an outlook to future technology will be of highest value for students as well as for engineers.Patrick Schelling received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Minnesota in 1999. From 1999 to 2003, he held a postdoctoral position at Argonne National Laboratory, where the principle focus of his work was to study thermal transport using atomic-scale simulation. A key contribution of his work was to develop new methods that reveal detailed phonon scattering processes in the course of a molecular-dynamics simulation. In 2003, he joined the faculty as an assistant professor in the Advanced Materials Processing and Analysis Center (AMPAC) and the Department of Physics at the University of Central Florida. Hisresearch interests are quite diverse but share a common theme of atomic-scalemodeling. The main focus of his research is to elucidate thermal transport insemiconductor materials in new regimes and length scales where bulk Fourier-Law behavior breaks down. He also maintains an active research program in the application of electronic-structure methods to problems in catalysis and electrochemistry.
