In the past years, various work has been devoted to improving the thermoelectric figure of
merit zT, and remarkable advances have been achieved. In 2019, an abnormal zT value …

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has advanced material research that were previously intractable,
for example, the machine learning (ML) has been able to predict some unprecedented …

Understanding the origins of intrinsic stress in Si nanowires (NWs) is crucial for their
successful utilization as transducer building blocks in next-generation, miniaturized sensors …

Heat dissipation and thermal management are central challenges in various areas of
science and technology and are critical issues for the majority of nanoelectronic devices. In …

The potentialities of silicon as a starting material for electronic devices are well known and
largely exploited, driving the worldwide spreading of integrated circuits. When …

In this work, we investigated the tensile and compression forces effect on the thermal
conductivity of silicon. We used the equilibrium molecular dynamics approach for the …

This article reports the thermal conduction properties of Si/a-SiO 2 heterostructure with two
different interfaces: weak and strong coupling strength through molecular dynamics …

We report on an anomalous mode distinct from both optical and acoustic modes in phonon
dispersion curves of bulk Si 1− x Ge x alloy with x taking the values of 0.16, 0.32, 0.45, and …

Metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) fabricates silicon nanowires (SiNWs) array at room
temperature on the crystalline Si substrate. The SiNWs, however, need to be transferred to a …

Motivated by the excellent electronic and optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional (2D)
tin oxides, we systematically investigated the thermal conductivity (κ) of monolayers SnO …
