Role of electron–phonon coupling in thermal conductance of metal–nonmetal interfaces
Abstract
We theoretically show that the thermal conductance associated with electron–phonon coupling in a metal near a metal–nonmetal interface can be estimated as hep=Gkp, where G is the volumetric electron–phonon coupling constant and kp is the phonon or lattice thermal conductivity of the metal. The expression suggests hep≈1/T at temperatures comparable to the Debye temperature of the metal. The predicted values of hep fall within the range of conductance values experimentally observed (0.3–1 GW/m2 K), suggesting that it cannot be ignored, and could even play a dominant role at high temperatures. Predictions of the total thermal conductance, that include both electron–phonon and phonon–phonon interfacial conductances, show reasonable agreement in its temperature dependence with experimental data for TiN/MgO interfaces.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
