Thermal Conductivity of Intermetallic Compounds with Metallic Bonding

EFFECTS OF THERMAL AGING ON INTERMETALLIC COMPOUNDS AND VOIDS FORMATION IN AuAl WIRE BONDING

There are several issues related to the mechanical and electrical wirebond failure during wirebonding process. Major factors are associated with AuAl intermetallic system. AuAl intermetallic compounds (IMC) can easily form at room temperature and can be accelerated with the elevated temperature. In this paper, pattern of intermetallic compounds growth and potential degradation due to voids in t...

Intermetallic Compounds of Element 112: the Electronic Structure and Bonding

The next heaviest element which is to be studied chemically at the JINR, Dubna, [1] and GSI [2] is element 112. Its properties are expected to be unique: high volatility and inertness due to the very strong relativistic stabilization of the 7s electrons and the closed-shell configuration, 7s6d [3]. The surface of the chromatography column in the gas-phase chromatography experiments is to be mad...

Differential thermal analysis and solution growth of intermetallic compounds

To obtain single crystals by solution growth, an exposed primary solidification surface in the appropriate, but often unknown, equilibrium alloy phase diagram is required. Furthermore, an appropriate crucible material is needed, necessary to hold the molten alloy during growth, without being attacked by it. Recently, we have used the comparison of realistic simulations with experimental differe...

Robustly Engineering Thermal Conductivity of Bilayer Graphene by Interlayer Bonding

Graphene and its bilayer structure are the two-dimensional crystalline form of carbon, whose extraordinary electron mobility and other unique features hold great promise for nanoscale electronics and photonics. Their realistic applications in emerging nanoelectronics usually call for thermal transport manipulation in a controllable and precise manner. In this paper we systematically studied the...
