Nano-boron as an antibacterial agent for functionalized textiles
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-01)The antibacterial properties of boron-containing compounds are well known although there are limited studies available on the pure boron nanoparticles. In this study boron nano-particles were characterized in terms of their ... -
Natural convection immersion cooling with enhanced optical performance of light-emitting diode systems
(2015-10-15)Electronics driven at high currents may experience local hot spots, which may cause thermal degradation or even catastrophic failures. This common problem occurs at light-emitting diode (LED) chips and it is not easily ... -
Near to far-field thermal emission by nanoparticles on a substrate: Evaluation of effective medium theory
(The Optical Society, 2014)We study the near to far-field thermal emission of a thin SiC film with/without nanospheres placed upon it. We show that Effective Medium Theorem produces questionable results when approximating emission and absorption ... -
Near- to far-field coherent thermal emission by surfaces coated by nanoparticles and the evaluation of effective medium theory
