Thermal conductance of strongly bonded metal-oxide interfaces
Abstract
We report the results of time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) measurements of two strongly bonded metal-oxide systems with unusually large thermal conductances. We find that TDTR data for the epitaxial $\mathrm{SrRu}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}/\mathrm{SrTi}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ interface is consistent with an interface conductance $G>0.8\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GW}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{m}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{K}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. For an $\mathrm{Al}\text{/}\mathrm{MgO}$ interface at a pressure of 60 GPa, we find $G\ensuremath{\approx}1.1\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GW}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{m}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{K}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. Both are within 40% of the maximum possible conductance for these systems, as predicted by simple theory.

TDTR has been frequently used to measure the heat capacity of new materials and the thermal conductance of various solid/solid interfaces.
“The heat capacity of new materials 38, 39 and thermal conductance of various solid/solid interfaces 40-47 have also been frequently measured using TDTR.”

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.
