THERMAL TRANSPORT IN LOW DIMENSIONS KARTONIERT ...

Understandingnon-equilibrium properties of classical and quantum many-particle systems is oneof
the goals of contemporary statistical mechanics. Besides its own interestfor the theoretical
foundations of irreversible thermodynamics(e.g. of the Fourier's law of heat conduction)  this
topic is also relevant to developinnovative ideas for nanoscale thermal management with
possible future applicationsto nanotechnologies and effective energetic resources. The first
part of thevolume (Chapters 1-6) describes the basic models  the phenomenology and thevarious
theoretical approaches to understand heat transport in low-dimensionallattices (1D e 2D). The
methods described will include equilibrium and nonequilibriummolecular dynamics simulations 
hydrodynamic and kinetic approaches and thesolution of stochastic models. The second
part(Chapters 7-10) deals with applications to nano and microscale heat transfer as for
instance phononic transport in carbon-based nanomaterials  including theprominent case of
nanotubes and graphene. Possible future developments onheat flow control and thermoelectric
energy conversion will be outlined. This volume aims atbeing the first step for graduate
students and researchers entering the fieldas well as a reference for the community of
scientists that  from differentbackgrounds (theoretical physics  mathematics  material sciences
andengineering)  has grown in the recent years around those themes.
