    We examine the thermal conductivity k and interface thermal conductance G for amorphous and crystalline Zr47Cu31Al13Ni9 alloys in contact with polycrystalline Y2O3. Using time-domain thermoreflectance, we find k=4.5 W m(-1) K-1 for the amorphous metallic alloy of Zr47Cu31Al13Ni9 and k=5.0 W m(-1) K-1 for the crystalline Zr47Cu31Al13Ni9. We also measure G=23 MW m(-2) K-1 for the metallic glass/Y2O3 interface and G=26 MW m(-2) K-1 for the interface between the crystalline Zr47Cu31Al13Ni9 and Y2O3. The thermal conductivity of the crystalline Y2O3 layer is found to be k=5.0 W m(-1) K-1, and the conductances of Al/Y2O3 and Y2O3/Si interfaces are 68 and 45 MW m(-2) K-1, respectively.

    Thermal transport in composites of self-assembled nickel nanoparticles embedded in yttria stabilized zirconia

    We investigate the effect of nickel nanoparticle size on thermal transport in multilayer nanocomposites consisting of alternating layers of nickel nanoparticles and yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) spacer layers that are grown with pulsed laser deposition. Using time-domain thermoreflectance, we measure thermal conductivities of k=1.8, 2.4, 2.3, and 3.0 W m(-1) K(-1) for nanocomposites with nickel nanoparticle diameters of 7, 21, 24, and 38 nm, respectively, and k=2.5 W m(-1) K(-1) for a single 80 nm thick layer of YSZ. We use an effective medium theory to estimate the lower limits for interface thermal conductance G between the nickel nanoparticles and the YSZ matrix (G>170 MW m(-2) K(-1)), and nickel nanoparticle thermal conductivity.
