Abstract
A multilayered metal nanowire array including a plurality of stacked and separated nanowire array layers each including a plurality of vertically aligned metal nanowires, and a lateral interposer positioned in a gap between each pair of adjacent nanowire array layers and being thermally coupled to the nanowires in the adjacent layers so that the lateral interposers provide thermal conduction between the nanowire array layers and laterally across each nanowire array layer. The nanowire array layers between the interposers can have the same or different thicknesses, the diameter and density of the nanowires can be the same or different, and the nanowire metal can be the same or different.
