The thermal boundary conductance (TBC) of materials pairs in atomically intimate contact is reviewed as a practical guide for materials scientists. First, analytical and computational models of TBC are reviewed. Five measurement methods are then compared in terms of their sensitivity to TBC: the 3 omega method, frequency- and time-domain thermoreflectance, the cut-bar method, and a composite effective thermal conductivity method. The heart of the review surveys 30 years of TBC measurements around room temperature, highlighting the materials science factors experimentally proven to influence TBC. These factors include the bulk dispersion relations, acoustic contrast, and interfacial chemistry and bonding. The measured TBCs are compared across a wide range of materials systems by using the maximum transmission limit, which with an attenuated transmission coefficient proves to be a good guideline for most clean, strongly bonded interfaces. Finally, opportunities for future research are discussed.

热边界电导：材料科学的观点

原子紧密接触的材料对的热边界电导 (TBC) 被视为材料科学家的实用指南。首先，回顾了 TBC 的分析和计算模型。然后比较了五种测量方法对 TBC 的敏感性：3 Ω 方法、频域和时域热反射法、切杆法和复合有效热导率法。该评论的核心调查了 30 年来围绕室温进行的 TBC 测量，突出了经实验证明会影响 TBC 的材料科学因素。这些因素包括体色散关系、声学对比度以及界面化学和键合。通过使用最大传输限制，在广泛的材料系统中比较测量的 TBC，它具有衰减的透射系数，被证明是大多数清洁、牢固粘合的界面的良好指南。最后，讨论了未来研究的机会。
