Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoelectrics and Materials Today Physics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors did a simple investigation about the papers related to thermoelectrics that were published in different journals between the years of 2000 and 2017, and they noticed that there is not a journal with more than 5% of the papers on thermistors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced thermal stability of carbon nanotubes by plasma surface modification in Al2O3 composites
Hoonsung Cho,Donglu Shi,Donglu Shi,Donglu Shi,Yan Guo,Jie Lian,Zhifeng Ren,Bed Poudel,Yi Song,Jandro L. Abot,Dileep Singh,Jules L. Routbort,Lumin Wang,Rodney C. Ewing +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, a plasma polymerization method was employed to deposit an ultrathin pyrrole film of 3 nm onto the surfaces of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and Al2O3 nanoparticles for developing high-strength nanocomposites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal Expansion Coefficient and Lattice Anharmonicity of Cubic Boron Arsenide
Xi Chen,Chunhua Li,Fei Tian,Geethal Amila Gamage,Sean Sullivan,Jianshi Zhou,David Broido,Zhifeng Ren,Li Shi +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report measurements and calculations of the thermal expansion coefficient of semiconducting BAs and the Gruneisen parameter of BAs for thermal management in electronics, which becomes increasingly important as transistors shrink.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Metallic Composites Phase-Change Materials for High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage
TL;DR: In this paper, the latent heat of fusion of alloys can be expressed from three different contributions, namely, latent heat from each element, the sensible heat, and the mixing entropy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grain boundary Kapitza resistance analysis of nanostructured FeSb2
TL;DR: In this paper, the effective medium approach model was applied to determine the Kapitza resistance across the grain boundaries of nanostructured FeSb 2 samples, and the results suggest that a competition between the bulk thermal resistance and the k-means resistance was observed.
