Self-heating effects became more prominent with the introduction of the modern devices like FD-SOI and low thermal conductivity materials such as SiO2. Consequently, the temperature rise of a device due to its self-heating is pronounced more as the gate le ...
Mobile charged defects, accumulated in the domain-wall region to screen polarization charges, have been proposed as the origin of the electrical conductivity at domain walls in ferroelectric materials. Despite theoretical and experimental efforts, this sce ...
Metallic implants such as hip and knee often fail due to the combined action of wear and corrosion. Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) coatings on metallic implants can be a potential candidate to overcome this issue. In this work, we investigated the tribocorr ...
Scanning probe lithography (SPL) includes a variety of techniques which produce nanopatterns based on the interaction between an AFM probe and a substrate, Figure 1 shows an overview of possible techniques of scanning probe lithography. Here we focus on th ...
A transient thermal regime is achieved in glassy GeTe4 by first-principles molecular dynamics following the recently proposed ''approach-to-equilibrium'' methodology. The temporal and spatial evolution of the temperature do comply with the time-dependent s ...
The energy demand of buildings and outdoor human comfort are key elements of a sustainable urban design. The wind speed has an enormous impact on thermal sensation, but the sensation itself is hard to quantify. The objective of this paper is to understand ...
The ability to evaluate stream hydrochemistry is often constrained by the capacity to sample streamwater at an adequate frequency. While technology is no longer a limiting factor, costs and sample management can still be a barrier to high-resolution water ...
Thermal behaviours of high-performance digital circuits in bulk CMOS and FDSOI technologies are compared on a 64-bit Kogge-Stone adder designed in 40nm CMOS node. Temperature profiles of the adder in bulk and FDSOI are extracted with thermal simulations an ...
This study investigates the effect of short exposure to coloured light on thermal perception. To give the impression of natural daylight passing through coloured filters, but avoiding the drawbacks of conducting an experiment with daylight, continuously ch ...
Geomechanical stability issues may arise due to induced thermal stresses because CO2 will generally reach the storage formation at a temperature lower than that of the reservoir. Cold injection will form a cold region around the injection well, which will ...
