报告摘要（Abstract）:

Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) have been drawing considerable attentions and efforts. Their exceptional thermal properties -hyper-conductive in the in-plane/axial directions, hyper-insulating in the cross-plane/radial direction- can be valued in several applications. 3D stacking, function integration and size reduction in modern chips yield acuter thermal issues that can be partially tackled by graphene/cnt-based heat spreaders andthermal interface materials, which are key components to improve the extraction of heat from hot spots and chips. In those materials however, the key knowledge is the one of the interfacial resistance between molecular elements, be it two nanotubes or two graphene systems, polymers and nanotubes/graphene, graphene and substrate. We will detail the theoretical description of interfacial resistances at the atomic scale and provide several examples of computations.

Brief Bio（个人简介）:

Professor Volz obtained his Ph.D. from University of Poitiers in 1996. After working at University of California Los Angeles as a postdoctoral fellow with Professor Gang Chen (now at MIT), he became an associate Professor at the National Engineering School of Mechanics and Aerotechnics (ENSMA)in 1998. He joinedCNRS in 2002 as a research fellow at Ecole Centrale Paris, and became senior research fellow in 2010. He is the winner of the Bronze Medal of CNRS in 2004, and International Thermoelectric Society Scientific Award in 2009. He is the head of the CNRS European Network “Thermal Nanosciences and Nanoengineering”. In addition, he has served as the chairman in numerous international conferences related to nanoscale heat transport, theactive reviewer in more than 20 journals, and the editor of three books. So far, he has published over 300 communications, including 9 chapters, 113 articles in peer-reviewer journals, and 38 invited conferences. His publications have over 3000 citations, and his current H-index is 31.
