Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Metallic and Semiconductive Nanostructures
TL;DR: In this article, the melting temperature at the nanoscale, Tm, for different shapes of free-standing nanostructures is investigated using a top-down approach, and a phase transition stress model is proposed to evaluate the intrinsic strain and stress during the first steps of solidification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal conductivity of silicon bulk and nanowires: Effects of isotopic composition, phonon confinement, and surface roughness
Michel Kazan,Grégory Guisbiers,Sérgio Pereira,Maria R. Correia,Pierre Masri,Aurélien Bruyant,Sebastian Volz,Pascal Royer +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a rigorous analysis of the thermal conductivity of bulk silicon (Si) and Si nanowires (Si NWs) is presented, which takes into account the exact physical nature of the various acoustic and optical phonon mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elastic constants of aluminum nitride
TL;DR: In this paper, the elastic stiffness constants of semiconductors with the wurtzite symmetry were derived using Brillouin spectroscopy. But this method is not suitable for semiconductor thin-film growth and cannot be used for the determination of residual stress arising during the growth of AlN thin films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmonic mode interferences and Fano resonances in Metal-Insulator- Metal nanostructured interface
Rana Nicolas,Rana Nicolas,Gaëtan Lévêque,Joseph Marae-Djouda,Joseph Marae-Djouda,Guillame Montay,Yazid Madi,Yazid Madi,Jérôme Plain,Z.G. Herro,Michel Kazan,Pierre-Michel Adam,Thomas Maurer +12 more
TL;DR: A systematic study on a metal-insulator-nanostructured metal system with a thin 6 nm dielectric spacer showed how the nanoparticle sizes and excitation conditions lead to the tunability and coupling/decoupling of localized and delocalized plasmonic modes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen behavior in aluminum nitride
TL;DR: The infrared lattice-vibration spectra of three polycrystalline samples of wurtzite AlN differing in their oxygen contamination have been studied by measuring the room-temperature reflectivity at near-normal incidence in the 400-3000cm−1 frequency range using unpolarized light.
