A Review of Thermal Conductivity Data, Mechanisms and Models for Nanofluids (2010, background): “Minnich and Chen [134] introduced a modified effective medium approach formulation for nanocomposites and assumed that the characteristic length of the inclusion is equal to or less than the phonon mean free path.”
Heat Transfer in Thermoelectric Materials and Devices (2013, methodology): “Guided by the understanding that the reduced thermal conductivity in superlattices was due to diffuse interface scattering rather than phonon band structure modification, Yang and Chen [86] suggested that random 3D nanostructures can be exploited to achieve high ZT.”
