Control of near-field radiative heat transfer via surface phonon-polariton coupling in thin films
(Springer Business+Media, 2011-06)
The possibility of controlling near-field radiative heat transfer with the use of silicon carbide thin films supporting surface phonon–polaritons in the infrared spectrum is explored. For this purpose, the local density ...
Low-loss optical switch using Brewster angle
(IEEE, 2011)
Fabrication and actuation errors of submicron silicon waveguide optical switches are reported to remain within sub-100 nm ranges. These errors cause high loss ruining the optical performance of the switches at the on-state. ...
Thermal impacts on the performance of nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic power generators
(IEEE, 2011-06)
The thermal impacts on the performance of nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic (nano-TPV) power generators are investigated using a coupled near-field thermal radiation, charge, and heat transport formulation. A nano-TPV device ...
The semileptonic B to K1(1270, 1400) decays in QCD sum rules
(IOP Publishing, 2011)
We analyze the semileptonic rare decays of the B meson to K1(1270) and K1(1400) axial vector mesons. The B → K1(1270, 1400)_+_− decays are significant flavor-changing neutral current decays of the B meson. These decays are ...
Effect of commercial purity levels on the mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained titanium
(Elsevier, 2011-03-15)
Two grades of commercial purity (CP) titanium (grades 2 and 4) were processed using equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) at 300 ◦C and 450 ◦C, respectively. The processing temperatures were the minimum temperatures at ...
Discrete-dipole approximation with surface interaction: computational toolbox for MATLAB
(Elsevier, 2011-07)
We describe a MATLAB toolbox that utilizes the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) method for modelling light interaction with arbitrarily-shape scatterers in free space as well with planar surface interaction (DDA-SI). ...
T-matrix method for modelling optical tweezers
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
We review the use of the T-matrix description of scattering, or the T-matrix method, for the calculation of optical forces and torques, especially for the computational modelling of optical tweezers. We consider both simple ...
Pool boiling critical heat flux in dielectric liquids and nanofluids
(Elsevier, 2011)
With the recent advances in consumer and power electronics, efficient thermal management of high heat flux components has taken on new urgency. While its inherent advantages have made air cooling the method of choice for ...
Radiative transfer configuration factor catalog: a listing of relations for common geometries
(Elsevier, 2011-03)
An on-line compilation of radiation configuration factors for over 300 common geometries is provided as a supplementary material from the JQSRT web site at doi:10.1016/j.jqsrt.2010.10.002. The factors are gathered from ...
Effect of slurry aging on stability and performance of chemical mechanical planarization process
(Elsevier, 2011-03)
Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is known to be one of the most challenging processes in microelectronics manufacturing due to the number of variables involved in the design of the process. In particular, the slurries ...
