Abstract

Understanding thermal transport at the nanoscale level is crucial for maintaining the safe operation of modern electronic devices.t is well-established that electrons and phonons are the major energy carriers for thermal transport in metals and semiconductors/insulators, respectively. There is a possible third energy carrier contributing to thermal transport, i.e. surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs), originating from coupling between surface electromagnetic waves and optical phonons.
