Solid-state thermal rectifier.
We demonstrated nanoscale solid-state thermal rectification. High-thermal-conductivity carbon and boron nitride nanotubes were mass-loaded externally and inhomogeneously with heavy molecules. The resulting nanoscale system yields asymmetric axial thermal conductance with greater heat flow in the direction of decreasing mass density. The effect cannot be explained by ordinary perturbative wave t...
متن کاملExploring and Exploiting Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata
The Full Adders (FAs) constitute the essential elements of digital systems, in a sense that they affect the circuit parameters of such systems. With respect to the MOSFET restrictions, its replacement by new devices and technologies is inevitable. QCA is one of the accomplishments in nanotechnology nominated as the candidate for MOSFET replacement. In this article 4 new layouts are presente...
متن کاملIn-plane lattice thermal conductivity of a quantum-dot superlattice
We have theoretically investigated the in-plane lattice thermal conductivity of a quantum-dot superlattice. The calculations were carried out for a structure that consists of multiple layers of Si with randomly distributed Ge quantum dots separated by wetting layers and spacers. Our model takes into account scattering of acoustic phonons on spherical quantum dots, and corresponding modification...
متن کاملElectrical and Thermal Conductivity of Ge/Si Quantum Dot Superlattices
Recently proposed thermoelectric applications of quantum dot superlattices made of different material systems depend crucially on the values of the electrical and thermal conductivities in these nanostructures. We report results of the measurements of Hall mobility and thermal conductivity in a set of Ge0.5Si0.5/Si quantum dot superlattices. The average measured in-plane Hall mobility for the u...
متن کاملSILAR Sensitization as an Effective Method for Making Efficient Quantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells
CdSe quantum dots were in situ deposited on various structures of TiO2 photoanode by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). Various sensitized TiO2 structures were integrated as a photoanode in order to make quantum dot sensitized solar cells. High power conversion efficiency was obtained; 2.89 % (Voc=524 mV, Jsc=9.78 mA/cm2, FF=0.56) for the cells that sensitized by SILAR meth...
