Thermal transport plays a crucial role in performance and reliability of semiconductor
electronic devices, where heat is mainly carried by phonons. Phonon transport in crystalline …

We review the status of research on thermal/phonon transport in disordered materials. The
term disordered materials is used here to encompass both structural and compositional …

In phase-change memory devices, a material is cycled between glassy and crystalline
states. The highly temperature-dependent kinetics of its crystallization process enables …

We propose and analyze a setup to achieve strong coupling between a single trapped atom
and a me<? format?> chanical oscillator. The interaction between the motion of the atom …

A droop-free nitride light-emitting diode (LED) with the capacity to operate beyond the
“green gap” has been a subject of intense scientific and engineering interest. While several …

Thermoelectric films and periodic structures have particularly intriguing electrical and
thermal transport features due to their low dimensionality. As a result, they have piqued the …

We study the effect of Joule heating from electric currents flowing through ferromagnetic
nanowires on the temperature of the nanowires and on the temperature of the substrate on …

The rapid solidification dynamics of a pulsed-laser-melted hypoeutectic Al–Cu thin-film alloy
were monitored using in situ transmission electron microscopy with high spatial and …

We have measured the thermal properties of suspended membranes from 10 to 300 K for
two amplitudes of internal stress (about 0.1 and 1 GPa) and for two different thicknesses (50 …

The past two decades have witnessed the rapid development of nanocalorimetry, a novel
materials characterization technique that employs micromachined calorimetric sensors. The …
