Journal overview

Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering is a journal covering the basic science and engineering of nanoscale and microscale energy and mass transport, conversion, and storage processes. The journal seeks manuscripts detailing studies that investigate, model, explore and/or utilize the unique thermal behavior and thermophysical properties that manifest themselves at the nano- and microscale. In addition, the journal addresses the uses of these principles for device and system applications in the fields of energy, environment, information, medicine, and transportation.

The journal publishes both original research articles and reviews of historical accounts, latest progresses, and future directions in this rapidly advancing field. Papers deal with such topics as:

• transport and interactions of electrons, phonons, photons, and spins in solids

• interfacial energy transport and phase change processes

• microscale and nanoscale fluid and mass transport and chemical reaction

• molecular-level energy transport, storage, conversion, reaction, and phase transition

• near field thermal radiation and plasmonic effects

• ultrafast and high spatial resolution measurements

• multi length and time scale modeling and computations

• processing of nanostructured materials that utilizes or exhibits thermodynamic behavior not accessible under macroscopic bulk conditions

• energy conversion and storage devices and systems

• thermal management of devices and systems

• microfluidic and nanofluidic devices and systems

• molecular analysis devices and systems

• atomic-level energy conversion among electrons, phonons, photons, and fluid particles

• machine learning to predict and understand thermal properties of materials

• thermoelectric, thermophotovoltaic, and pyroelectric materials and devices

• molecular scale heat transport in soft matter (e.g., biological and bioinspired materials)

• dynamically switched thermal transport

• thermo-optical interactions in quantum-photonic systems

• cryogenic cooling for quantum computing
