Abstract

In this review, we discuss a nonequilibrium thermodynamic theory for heat transport in superlattices, graded systems, and thermal metamaterials with defects. The aim is to provide researchers in nonequilibrium thermodynamics as well as material scientists with a framework to consider in a systematic way several nonequilibrium questions about current developments, which are fostering new aims in heat transport, and the techniques for achieving them, for instance, defect engineering, dislocation engineering, stress engineering, phonon engineering, and nanoengineering. We also suggest some new applications in the particular case of mobile defects.
Keywords: continuum thermodynamics; heat transport; non-equilibrium thermodynamics; superlattices; thermal metamaterials; graded systems continuum thermodynamics; heat transport; non-equilibrium thermodynamics; superlattices; thermal metamaterials; graded systems
