Thermal boundary resistance of copper phthalocyanine-metal interface

Abstract: Systems containing interfaces between dissimilar materials can exhibit lower thermal conductivity than their pure constituents, with important implications for thermal management and thermoelectric energy conversion. However, the heat transfer processes at such interfaces, in particular those between organic and inorganic materials, remain for the most part uncharacterized. We use vacuum thermal evaporation to grow archetypal multilayer thin films of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and Ag or Al, and measure their… Show more

“…(1) are comparable for ρ int ≈ 3 x 10 -7 m 2 K/W. This value is only about an order of magnitude larger than that of evaporated metal, 23,24 oxide, 25 or organometallic 26 films on ceramic or metal substrates, close to the value of evaporated polycrystalline pentacene films on silicon oxide, 6 and an order of magnitude smaller than the interface resistances of the best epoxy resins 27 or thermal greases.…”

“…Therefore, phonons in a NW bundle are scattered at the interface, leading to a phonon mean free path that is the same or less than that of a single free-standing NW. In general, nanostructure ensembles have lower thermal conductivity than a single nanostructure because of the presence of van der Waals interactions48495051. Hone et al 48.…”

“…In our derivation of κ, we assumed that interfacial thermal resistances were negligible compared to the film thermal resistance; the derived κ therefore represents a lower bound for the film thermal conductivity 26 . For pure PAP and pure PAA, the underestimation of κ is estimated to be 5%, using interfacial thermal resistances previously measured for similar interfaces 13,26,27 . Comparisons between the film thicknesses used and the polymers' radii of gyration do not indicate a contribution of reduced thermal boundary resistance 28 to the measured thermal conductivity enhancements (Supplementary Information).…”
