A fundamental understanding of the phonon transport property is crucial to predict the thermal management performance in micro/nano-electronic devices. By combining first principle calculations and Boltzmann phonon transport equation, we investigate thermal transport in TaAs-a typical Weyl semimetal. The lattice thermal conductivity of TaAs at room temperature was found to be 39.26 W mK(-1) and...

Three-dimensional topological insulators are characterized by the presence of a bandgap in their bulk and gapless Dirac fermions at their surfaces. New physical phenomena originating from the presence of the Dirac fermions are predicted to occur, and to be experimentally accessible via transport measurements in suitably designed electronic devices. Here we study transport through superconductin...

As the size of electronic and mzechanical devices are decreased to the micron and nanometre level, it becomes particularly important to predict the thermal transport properties of the components. Using of molecular level theories such predictions are particularly important for modelling nano-electronic devices where scaling laws may change substantially but it is most difficult to accurately me...

In recent days, the micro/nano machining becomes an important process to fabricate micro/nano scale dimensional patterns or devices for many applications, especially in electrical and electronic devices. There are two kinds micro-machining in use. i) bulk micromachining, ii) surface micro-maching. In the case of bulk micromaching, the structures can be made by etching inside a substrate selecti...
