We assess the viability of topological semimetals for application in advanced interconnect technology, where conductor size is on order a few nanometers and grain boundaries are expected to be prevalent. investigate electron transport properties boundary scattering thin films CoSi CoGe using first-principles calculations combined with Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) technique. Unlike co...

The size dependent large displacement behavior of planar microbeams and microframes is studied in this paper using a corotational beam element. To account for the effect, modified couple stress theory (MCST) employed conjunction with Euler-Bernoulli deriving internal force vector tangent stiffness matrix Newton-Raphson based iterative procedure used combination arc-length method to solve nonlin...
