Heat transfer laws for conduction, radiation and convection change when the dimensions of the systems in question shrink. The altered behaviours can be used efficiently in energy conversion, respectively bio- and high-performance materials to control microelectronic devices. To understand and model those thermal mechanisms, specific metrologies have to be established. This book providesan overview of actual devices and materials involving micro-nanoscale heat transfer mechanisms. These are clearly explained and exemplified by a large spectrum of relevant physical models, while the most advanced nanoscale thermal metrologies are presented. Deals with the problem of temperature increase in nano- and microelectronic devices Provides a careful description of the specificsof temperature-related effects in nano- and microelectronic devices Detailed explanation of the measuring and controlling temperature in such devices A valuable reference to researchers but also useful to graduate students INDICE: Nanomaterials: Nanostrucutres.- Introduction.- Nanostructures.- Nanocontacts and junctions.- Nanocomposites.- Introduction.- Conduction.- Radiation.- Colloïds.- Nanosystems: Energy conversion.- Biosystems.- MicroSondes.- Microelectronics.- Advanced Metrology: Optical Methods.-Photothermal Methods.- Pump-probe techniques.- Microscopy by UV and Near IR camera.- Local probes.-IRSNOM.- Fluorescent Nanocristals.- Low temperature devices.
