Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) is a versatile thin film method for producing thin layers consisting of various materials, as metals (e.g. W, Ti, or Cu), oxides (e.g. ZrO2, MgO, or Ta2O5) and polymers (e.g. PC). This allows combining different kinds of materials to design multilayers with high acoustic mismatch at the interfaces resulting in different phonon dispersion relations in adjacent materials. By increasing the number of interfaces between such materials, the phonon mean free path is shortened and interface effects like reflection and scattering become more important leading to phonon blocking and henceforth to a decrease in phonon thermal conductivity. In this work, first the results of the structural properties (roughness, film thickness, composition and thermal stability) of laser deposited multilayers of different material combinations, which were carefully analyzed using x-ray reflectometry, x-ray diffraction and electron microscopy, are presented. Then, the phonon propagation and heat dissipation measured by ultrafast pump-probe reflectivity and transient thermal reflectometry experiments are shown.
