AN ELONGATED NANOFIBER WITH AN IMPROVED PREVENTION OF THERMAL CONDUCTANCE AND METHOD TO PREVENT THERMAL CONDUCTANCE IN THE NANOFIBER

摘要

The present invention relates to an elongated nanofiber (12) in a temperature sensitive device (10) connected to two opposite connection ends (11, 13) of the device (10), the connection ends (11, 13) having distinct temperatures (T1, T2) and where a thermal energy is carried through the nanofiber (12) by propagating non-interacting elastic waves (14 - 16). The nanofiber (12) includes deformation structures (17.1 - 17.4) arranged to prevent the propagation of at least a part of the elastic waves (14 - 16). In addition, the invention also relates to a corresponding method to prevent thermal conductance in the nanofiber.
