Abstract

Since the intrinsic lower limit of the representation of one bit of information is around the atomic scale, nanotechnology offers particularly clear advantages through the miniaturization of information technology hardware. This limit is far from being reached, but the miniaturization so far achieved (feature sizes as small as 16 nm) already creates a problem of heat management because of the very high density of integrated components on a chip. Nanotechnology can help to solve this problem by creating thermal interface nanomaterials with very high heat conductivity. In the longer term, a move to spintronics embodied in nanostructures will eliminate heat dissipation altogether. Nanotechnology ...
