The protection of hot structures in modern turbine engines significantly relies on thermal
barrier coatings (TBCs). Considering the growing demand for enhanced gas turbine …

As the size of electronic devices is reducing the heat generation is increasing tremendously
within the devices. Thermal management is an effective way to control the heat generation in …

In this article, we compare the results of nonequilibrium (NEMD) and equilibrium (EMD)
molecular dynamics methods to compute the thermal conductance at the interface between …

The thermal interface conductance between Al and Si was simulated by a non-equilibrium
molecular dynamics method. In the simulations, the coupling between electrons and …

We report on the influence of the interfacial roughness on the thermal boundary
conductance between two solids, using molecular dynamics. We show evidence of a …

This paper focuses on deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) of sub-micrometer features. Very
high aspect ratios up to 160: 1 on trenches of 250 nm have been achieved using the Bosch …

The combination of photonic devices and chalcogenide phase change materials (PCMs)
provides a potential solution for photonic storage and computing. However, there are still …

The thermal conductivity of diameter and polytype modulated SiC nanowires is predicted
using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics. For the polytype modulated nanowires, the two …

This paper reports on a study that investigated the effect of sintering on the microstructure,
thermal properties and phase composition of nanostructured and conventional 8YSZ …

Thermal boundary conductance at a metal-dielectric interface is a quantity of prime
importance for heat management at the nanoscale. While the boundary conductance is …
