We present a first-principles approach to calculate the phonon thermal conductivity based
on the Green-Kubo formalism. In this approach, the density functional theory energy is …

One of the major experimental difficulties in studying materials at extreme temperatures is
unwanted contamination of the sample through contact with the container. This can be …

Thermal conductivity of liquid silicon is necessary for numerical process modeling. It is also
of scientific interest. However, measuring thermal conductivity is a difficult task because of …

The electrical resistivity of liquid Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 (GST) is obtained from dc-voltage
measurements performed on thin GST films as well as from device-level microsecond-pulse …

Three concepts for the application of multi-extreme conditions under in situ neutron
scattering are described here. The first concept is a neutron diamond anvil cell made from a …

Ni–Al alloys are good candidates for the fabrication high-efficiency gas turbine blades. The
Ni–Al system is also important as a solution for AlN crystal growth. To accurately model the …

We investigated single shot damage of Mo/Si multilayer coatings exposed to the intense fs
XUV radiation at the Free-electron LASer facility in Hamburg-FLASH. The interaction …
