We present a rigorous analysis of the thermal conductivity of bulk silicon (Si) and Si
nanowires (Si NWs) which takes into account the exact physical nature of the various …

Pseudobinary nitride alloys display enhanced piezoelectric properties compared to their
nonalloyed counterparts enabling their wide application in high‐performance transducers …

Aluminum nitride (AlN) films were synthesized onto Si (100) substrates by pulsed laser
deposition (PLD) in vacuum or nitrogen, at 0.1, 1, 5, or 10 Pa, and substrate temperatures …

To understand the influence of the oxygen on the crystallography of AlN thin films made by
physical vapour deposition rf magnetron, three different oxygen content AlN films were …

In Part I of this study (Cheng et al. in Int J Thermophys 37: 62, 2016), the reflectance and
transmittance of dense ceramic plates were measured at wavelengths from 0.4\upmu m μ m …

First-principles calculations are performed to study the adsorption of oxygen at wurtzite AlN
(0001) and (000 1¯) surfaces as a function of oxygen coverage. We find that the adsorption …

The directional dependence of AlN intrinsic complex dielectric function, the phonon lifetimes,
and decay channels are investigated by means of polarized infrared reflectivity …

In this paper, we present a thorough study of the characteristics of the surface modes that
result from coupling between plasmon electronic oscillation modes, phonon modes, and …

AlN green bodies with variable O and C contents were employed to fabricate Y 2 O 3-doped
AlN ceramics of different grain-boundary phase compositions and microstructures via …

The thermal conductivity along two high-symmetry directions of several aluminum nitride
(AlN) single crystals differing in their mass-fluctuation phonon-scattering parameter is …
