For alloys with nanoprecipitate/matrix microstructures, the lattice coherency between the
two phases plays an important role in determining the mechanical performances at high …

Atomic substitution in alloys can efficiently scatter phonons, thereby reducing the thermal
conductivity in crystalline solids to the “alloy limit.” Using In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As containing ErAs …

In this study, we have developed an economically viable and technologically sound process
for the production of low-cost carbon fibers (CFs) made of lignin copolymer with acrylonitrile …

This paper discusses the design, fabrication and testing of a novel thermoelectric device
comprised of arrays of silicon nanowires embedded in a polymer matrix. By exploiting the low-…

Background Although several prospective studies have reported the efficacy of stereotactic
body radiotherapy (SBRT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), treatment‐related toxicity …

Pure lead-free SnTe has limited thermoelectric potentials because of the low Seebeck
coefficients and the relatively large thermal conductivity. In this study, we provide experimental …

In this review, we discuss some of the representative strategies of phonon engineering by
categorizing them into the methods affecting each component of phonon thermal conductivity, …

In this paper, we systematically investigate three different routes of synthesizing 2% Na-doped
PbTe after melting the elements: (i) quenching followed by hot-pressing (QH), (ii) …

The 3 ω technique and time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) are two experimental methods
capable of measuring the cross-plane thermal conductivity of thin films. We compare the …

An approximate analytical solution is proposed to estimate the phonon scattering cross
section of polydispersed spherical nanoparticles. Using perturbation of the Hamiltonian due to …
