Kapitza thermal resistance is a common feature of material interfaces. It is defined as the ratio of the thermal drop at the interface to the heat flux flowing across the interface. One expects that this resistance will depend on the…

An intrinsic feature of nearly all internal interfaces in crystalline systems (homo- and hetero-phase) is the presence of disconnections (topological line defects constrained to the interface that have both step and dislocation character).…
