Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering is a journal covering the basic science and engineering of nanoscale and microscale energy and mass transport, conversion, and storage processes. In addition, the journal addresses the uses of these principles for device and system applications in the fields of energy, environment, information, medicine, and transportation.
The journal publishes both original research articles and reviews of historical accounts, latest progresses, and future directions in this rapidly advancing field. Papers deal with such topics as:
transport and interactions of electrons, phonons, photons, and spins in solids
interfacial energy transport and phase change processes
microscale and nanoscale fluid and mass transport and chemical reaction
molecular-level energy transport, storage, conversion, reaction, and phase transition
near field thermal radiation and plasmonic effects
ultrafast and high spatial resolution measurements
multi length and time scale modeling and computations
processing of nanostructured materials, including composites
micro and nanoscale manufacturing
energy conversion and storage devices and systems
thermal management devices and systems
microfluidic and nanofluidic devices and systems
molecular analysis devices and systems
Submissions are made online via ScholarOne Manuscripts. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. In 2015, the average time for a manuscript to receive a first and final decision was 24 and 38 days, respectively, and the acceptance rate was 19%. Accepted manuscripts are posted online prior to copyediting via the Accepted Manuscripts Online (AMO) publication method. Print issues are published quarterly.
