Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring Thermal and Thermoelectric Properties of One-Dimensional Nanostructures Using a Microfabricated Device
TL;DR: In this paper, a microdevice consisting of two adjacent symmetric silicon nitride membranes suspended by long silicon-nitride beams for measuring thermophysical properties of one-dimensional manostructures (nanotubes, nanowires, and mmobelts) bridging the two membranes is fabricated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal conductivity and phonon transport in suspended few-layer hexagonal boron nitride.
TL;DR: Thermal conductivities for both the 5-layer and the 11-layer samples are suppressed at low temperatures, suggesting increasing scattering of low frequency phonons in thin h-BN samples by polymer residue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compound-Nucleus Decay along the Mass-Asymmetry Coordinate and the Role of the Businaro-Gallone Point
L. G. Sobotka,M.A. McMahan,R. J. McDonald,C. Signarbieux,G.J. Wozniak,M. L. Padgett,J. H. Gu,Zhi Liu,Zhen Yao,L.G. Moretto +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the decay of compound nuclei (CN) produced in reactions of 74 and 84-MeV/nucleon was observed from the entire range of the mass-asymmetry coordinate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of supporting layer on growth of carbon nanotubes by thermal chemical vapor deposition
TL;DR: In this article, a thin iron catalyst was used as a supporting layer on which a thin carbon nanotube was deposited, and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy revealed a Stranski-Krastanov mode of iron island growth on tantalum.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Scanning thermal microscopy measurements reveal a significant thermal benefit of including a high thermal conductivity hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) heat-spreading layer between graphene and either a SiO2/Si substrate or a 100 μm thick Corning flexible Willow glass (WG) substrate.
