Despite the widespread use of amorphous aluminosilicates (ASA) in various industrial catalysts, the nature of the interface between silica and alumina and the atomic structure of the catalytically active sites are still subject to debate. Here, by the use ...
Polypeptide brushes are attractive platforms to generate functional and responsive interfaces that are of potential interest due to their possible biodegradability, biocompatibility and tunable secondary structures. Surface-initiated ringopening polymeriza ...
We present a series of molecular dynamics simulations of the shock compression of copper matrices containing a single graphite inclusion: these model systems can be related to some specific carbon-rich rocks which, after a meteoritic impact, are found to c ...
Metal-diamond composites have been identified as promising materials for applications in which high thermal conductivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion is required, e.g. applications of thermal management. Besides the intrinsic properties of the ...
The effect of an Al2O3 interlayer on the thermal conductance of metal (Al)/non-metal (diamond and silicon) interfaces is investigated using Time Domain ThermoReflectance (TDTR). Interlayers between 1.7 and 20 nm are deposited on oxygen-terminated diamond a ...
The thermal boundary conductance (TBC) between thin films of Cr, Mo, Nb and W and diamond substrates has been measured using time domain thermoreflectance before and after a high-vacuum heat treatment at 800 degrees C for 2 h. While no signs of carbide for ...
This work consists in an experimental study of the main parameters governing the transport of heat across an interface between two solids, when it is dominated by phonons. The main experimental tool used is Time-Domain ThermoReflectance (TDTR), which is an ...
[100] and [111] oriented diamond substrates were treated using Ar:H and Ar:O plasma treatments, and 1:1 HNO3:H2SO4 heated at 200 ̊C. Subsequent to these treatments, an aluminum layer was either evaporated or sputte- red on the substrates. The Thermal Bound ...
Study the influence of adjunction of a dielectric or metallic interlayer on the Thermal Boundary Conductance (TBC) measurable between a metallic layer and a diamond substrate. An interlayer does not need to be thick to have a substantial influence influenc ...
We report Time-Domain ThermoReflectance experiments measuring the Thermal Boundary Conductance (TBC) of interfaces between diamond and metal surfaces, based on samples consisting of [111] diamond substrates with hydrogen or with sp2 carbon surface terminat ...
