Understanding heat transfer across solid-liquid interfaces is central to thermal management and energy technologies, yet whether the interfacial thermal conductance (ITC) depends on the timescale of heating remains unclear. Here we use…
We have measured the thermal properties of suspended membranes from 10 K to 300 K for two amplitudes of internal stress (about 0.1 GPa and 1 GPa) and for two different thicknesses (50 nm and 100 nm). The use of the original 3 \omega…
High resolution resistors capable of detecting minuscule currents are vital for advanced sensors, but existing off-shelf models struggle with inconsistent resistance under varying voltages. The underlying physics of this issue is rooted in…
The effect of wetting layers on the strain and electronic structure of InAs self-assembled quantum dots grown on GaAs is investigated with an atomistic valence-force-field model and an empirical tight-binding model. By comparing a dot with…
Heat transfer between a silver nanoparticle and surrounding water has been studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The thermal conductance (Kapitza conductance) at the interface between a nanoparticle and surrounding water has…
We investigate different methods of passivating sidewalls of wet etched InAs heterostructures in order to suppress inherent edge conduction that is presumed to occur due to band bending at the surface leading to charge carrier accumulation.…
We present a theory of the phononic thermal (Kapitza) resistance at the interface between graphene or another single-layer two-dimensional (2D) crystal (e.g. MoS$_{2}$) and a flat substrate, based on a modified version of the cross-plane…
In this work, we analyze the scavenging effect of titanium gates on metal insulator semiconductor capacitors composed of gadolinium oxide as dielectric material deposited on Si and InP substrates. The Gd$_2$O$_3$ film was grown by high…
Electrical transport measurements were made on single-crystal Sn nanowires to understand the intrinsic dissipation mechanisms of a one-dimensional superconductor. While the resistance of wires of diameter larger than 70 nm drops…
As silicon-based devices continue to shrink to the nanoscale, traps at the Si-SiO$_2$ interface pose increasing challenges to device performance. These traps reduce channel carrier mobility and shift threshold voltages in integrated…
We explore steady state and transient heat transfer from a narrow, rectangular stainless steel heater strip cooled from one side by an open bath of He~II. Setup validation is done by fitting the Kapitza heat transfer expression $Q =…
Quantum circuits interact with the environment via several temperature-dependent degrees of freedom. Yet, multiple experiments to-date have shown that most properties of superconducting devices appear to plateau out at $T\approx 50$ mK --…
Existing theoretical models of the interfacial thermal conductance, i.e., Kapitza conductance, of insulating solid-fluid interfaces only consider bulk properties, e.g., acoustic mismatch model and diffuse mismatch model. In this work, we…
A resonance-induced change in the resistivity of the surface state electrons (SSE) exposed to the microwave (MW) radiation is observed. The MW frequency corresponds to the transition energy between two lowest Rydberg energy levels. All…
Electrochemical capacitors with pure electric double layer capacitance are so far largely been limited to carbon materials only. Conventional metal oxides with Faradaic pseudocapacitance substantially suffer from material instability at…
Silicon membranes patterned by nanometer-scale pillars standing on the surface provide a practical platform for thermal conductivity reduction by resonance hybridization. Using molecular simulations, we investigate the effect of nanopillar…
Specific heat of phonon cavities is investigated in order to analyse the effect of phonon confinement on thermodynamic properties. The specific heat of free standing very thin SiN membranes in the low dimensional limit is measured down to…
The terahertz (THz) properties of ZrN thin films grown with CMOS-techniques on industry-standard 300 mm silicon wafers are investigated in order to explore their superconducting behavior. The films have thicknesses ranging from 18 to 48 nm,…
We systematically investigated the superconducting properties and the interplay between charge-density-waves (CDW) and superconductivity in lithium-intercalated 2H-TaS2. By gradually increasing the lithium content x, the CDW formation…
This work demonstrates that depositing a thin layer of Mo (5-15 nm) onto a 10 nm thick NbN strip leads to a significant increase in the nonlinearity of the kinetic inductance $L_k$. Specifically, the change in $L_k$ with increasing current…
