Abstract
This study perform numerical analysis for a Joule heated nano‐pillar system, which has a tunneling barrier, using the hot electrons' dissipation concept. The main focus was on the temperature dependence of the radius, thickness of the nano‐pillar and input power using the finite element method. The published experimental conditions were considered for the calculations. It was found that the peak temperature T (t =t~p~ ) depends on the dimensions of the nano‐pillar and input power. Surprisingly, the increase in temperature was in the order of only 1 Kelvin. The reason for such a small increase in temperature is discussed. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
