We have used molecular dynamics to calculate the thermal conductivity of symmetric and asymmetric graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) of several nanometers in size (up to ~4 nm wide and ~10 nm long). For symmetric nanoribbons, the calculated…
CO2 cooling systems are the wave of the future for industrial refrigeration. CO2 refrigeration systems are gaining traction in recent years which involves heat transfer between CO2 and the base fluid. The high viscosity of CO2 is of…
With the rapid advance of high-performance computing and electronic technologies, understanding thermal conductivity in materials has become increasingly important. This study presents a novel method: the Site-projected Thermal Conductivity…
This investigation has used flexural test to explore the effects of thermal treatments, i.e., high-temperature and cryogenic environments on the mechanical property of alumina particulate-reinforced Cu metal matrix micro and nanocomposites…
For a comprehensive characterization of mechanical reliability of metallization layers on polymer substrates both electrical and mechanical degradation should be taken into account. Although it is evident that cracking of a conductive film…
Nanostructured silicon is a promising material for thermoelectric conversion, because the thermal conductivity in silicon nanostructures can be strongly reduced with respect to that of bulk materials. We present thermal conductivity…
We prepared very high-coercivity cobalt ferrite nanoparticles using short-time high-energy mechanical milling. After the milling process, the coercivity of the nanoparticles reached 3.75 kOe - a value almost five times higher than that…
Temperature-sensitive hydrogels based on polymers such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) undergo a volume phase transition in response to changes in temperature. During this transition, distinct changes in both thermal and mechanical…
Polymers are usually considered as thermal insulators and their applications are limited by their low thermal conductivity. However, recent studies showed that certain polymers have surprisingly high thermal conductivity, some of which are…
We present the results of mechanical characterizations of many different high-quality optical coatings made of ion-beam-sputtered titania-doped tantala and silica, developed originally for interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. Our…
We investigated the vibrational dynamics and the structural relaxation of water nanoconfined in porous silica samples with pore size of 4 nm at different levels of hydration and temperature. We used as spectroscopic technique the…
The approach of nonequilibrium evolution thermodynamics earlier offered is developed. It helps to describe the processes of defect formation within the adiabatic approximation. The basic equations system depends on the initial defects…
Precise control over the flow behavior of liquids is a critical problem and is demanding for multifaceted applications. Introducing surface-engineered nanoparticles into the liquid can tune the flow behavior. However, the extent of…
Heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids have been extensively studied since the 1990s. Research investigations show that the suspended nanoparticles significantly alter the suspension's thermal properties. The thermal conductivity of…
We perform molecular dynamic (MD) simulations of frictional non-thermal particles driven by an externally applied shear stress. After the system jams following a transient flow, we probe its mechanical response in order to clarify whether…
Conventional drying of colloidal materials and gels (including cement) can lead to detrimental effects due to the buildup of internal stresses as water evaporates from the nano/microscopic pores. However, the underlying nanoscopic…
Kinetics of silicon dry oxidation are investigated theoretically and experimentally at low temperature in the nanometer range where the limits of the Deal and Grove model becomes critical. Based on a fine control of the oxidation process…
The thermal expansion of pure and Ti-bearing fused silica was estimated using free energy minimization lattice dynamics calculations in the quasiharmonic approximation. While the calculations give the expected drop in the coefficient of…
Tribological phenomena such as adhesion, friction, and wear can undermine the functionality of devices and applications based on the diamond-silica interface. Controlling these phenomena is highly desirable, but difficult since extrinsic…
The thermal conductivity of glasses is well-known to be significantly harder to theoretically describe compared to crystalline materials. Because of this fact, the fundamental understanding of thermal conductivity in glasses remain…
