Colloquium: Heat flow and thermoelectricity in atomic and molecular junctions
Abstract
Advances in the fabrication and characterization of nanoscale systems now allow for a better understanding of one of the most basic issues in science and technology: the flow of heat at the microscopic level. In this Colloquium recent advances are surveyed and an understanding of physical mechanisms of energy transport in nanostructures is presented, focusing mainly on molecular junctions and atomic wires. Basic issues are examined such as thermal conductivity, thermoelectricity, local temperature and heating, and the relation between heat current density and temperature gradient---known as Fourier's law. Both theoretical and experimental progress are critically reported in each of these issues and future research opportunities in the field are discussed.

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.
