      abstract = {The book introduces modern atomistic techniques for  predicting heat transfer in nanostructures and discusses  the applications of these techniques on three modern  topics. The study of heat transport in screw-dislocated  nanowires with low thermal conductivities in their bulk  form, which represent the knowledge base needed for  engineering thermal transport in advanced thermoelectric  and electronic materials and suggests new routes to lower  thermal conductivity that could promote thermoelectricity.  The study of high-temperature coating composite materials,  which facilitates the understanding of the role played by  composition and structural characterization, a problem  difficult to approach by experiments. And the understanding  of that the impact of deformations, such as bending and  collapsing on thermal transport along carbon nanotubes, is  important as carbon nanotubes, due to their exceptional  thermal and mechanical properties, are excellent materials  candidates in a variety of applications, including thermal  interface materials, thermal switches and composite  materials. Presents atomistic numerical methods for  nanoscale heat transfer from both scientific and  engineering perspectives; Reviews the most recent important  literature in a clear presentation by world-class  professionals; Serves as an exceptional resource for  students interested in modern heat transfer topics.},
