Abstract

We study the heat transfer between weakly coupled systems with flat interface. We present simple analytical results which can be used to estimate the heat transfer coefficient. As applications we consider the heat transfer across solid-solid contacts, and between a membrane (graphene) and a solid substrate (amorphous SiO2). For the latter system the calculated value of the heat transfer coefficient is in good agreement with the value deduced from experimental data.
