Project description
Heat management in nanoscale electronics
The miniaturisation of electronic components to atomic scales poses challenges in heat management, as inefficient heat dissipation can reduce performance and waste energy. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the nanoHEAT project explores the potential of 2D materials to design thermally efficient, actively tunable nanodevices. These materials possess unique properties, including extraordinary electronic, optical, and thermal characteristics, ideal for controlling heat flow. By investigating the behaviour of selected 2D materials under extreme conditions, nanoHEAT aims to develop optimised heterostructures that enhance heat transport. This research will pave the way for energy-efficient electronics and solidify the EU’s position in the photonics industry while advancing scientific careers in nanophotonics.
Objective
The miniaturization trend of electronic components down to atomic length scales generates new challenges in the management of heat at the nanoscale. Efficient heat dissipation in electronic devices leads to lower energy waste and improved operation efficiency, thus contributing in a decisive way to environmentally sustainable technological developments. The nanoHEAT project aims to leverage the unique properties of 2D materials for the design of thermally efficient and actively tunable nanodevices, due to their compactness, extraordinary electronic, optical, and thermal properties, and support of exotic polaritonshybrid light/matter electromagnetic modes that propagate at the surface of materials and play a crucial role in heat transport. Using advanced nanophotonics theory, nanoHEAT will start by studying in detail the behavior of selected 2D materials under extreme conditions of confinement, temperature, and external stimuli (such as magnetic fields or drift currents). After carefully selecting which materials (and their combinations) display the most advantageous thermal capabilities, optimized heterostructures based on these materials and noble metals will be explored as versatile building blocks for realistic setups with enhanced radiative and conductive heat transport in the nanoscale. External stimuli, in combination with other active elements such as quantum scatterers, will be used as knobs to control heat flow in these systems. Carried out at the University of Southern Denmark together with a widely experienced research team, this project will allow the fellow to advance his scientific career by harnessing new skills in nanophotonics, expanding his collaboration network, and acquiring complementary competencies in teaching, communication, and outreach, and research leadership. It will also contribute to solidifying the EUs strategic position in the photonics industry and paving the way towards new generations of energy-efficient electronic devices.
