Anisotropic thermal conductivity of Ge quantum-dot and symmetrically strained Si/Ge superlattices.
We report the first experimental results on the temperature dependent in-plane and cross-plane thermal conductivities of a symmetrically strained Si/Ge superlattice and a Ge quantum-dot superlattice measured by the two-wire 3 omega method. The measured thermal conductivity values are highly anisotropic and are significantly reduced compared to the bulk thermal conductivity of the structures. Th...
متن کاملThermal conductivity of symmetrically strained Si/Ge superlattices
This paper reports temperature-dependent thermal conductivity measurements in the crossplane direction of symmetrically strained Si/Ge superlattices, and the effect of doping, period thickness and dislocations on the thermal conductivity reduction of Si/Ge superlattices. The Si/Ge superlattices are grown by molecular beam epitaxy on silicon and siliconon-insulator substrates with a graded buffe...
متن کاملElectro-thermal Simulations of Strained-Si MOSFETs under ESD conditions
Electro-thermal characteristics of strained-Si MOSFETs operating in high-current, high temperature regimes were investigated using device/circuit mixed mode simulations. The material parameters of strained-Si were calibrated for device simulations. Especially the phonon mean-free-path of strained-Si with high electric fields was estimated based on a full-band Monte Carlo device simulation. Desp...
متن کاملThermal conductivity measurements of laser crystals by infrared thermography. Application to Nd:doped crystals.
We present a thermal conductivity measurement method for laser crystals based on thermal mapping of the crystal face by an infrared camera. Those measurements are performed under end-pumping of the laser crystal and during laser operation. The calculation of the fraction of pump power converted into heat is therefore simplified, and it is possible to link easily the temperature in the crystal t...
متن کاملUltralow thermal conductivity in disordered, layered WSe2 crystals.
The cross-plane thermal conductivity of thin films of WSe2 grown from alternating W and Se layers is as small as 0.05 watts per meter per degree kelvin at room temperature, 30 times smaller than the c-axis thermal conductivity of single-crystal WSe2 and a factor of 6 smaller than the predicted minimum thermal conductivity for this material. We attribute the ultralow thermal conductivity of thes...
