Future Japanese assessments and decisions regarding ballistic missile defense will be heavily influenced by the interests, calculations, and relationships existing among a wide variety of domestic actors. In considering whether and how to proceed with BMD development, procurement, and deployment, these actors will most likely focus on several key issues. This chapter identifies and discusses th...

Ballistic thermal transport is a remarkable nanoscale phenomenon with possible applications in microelectronics. In the past decade, research on ballistic focused measurements of length-dependent conductivity semiconductor nanowires. this Perspective article, we review experimental demonstrations nanowires various materials and sizes at different temperatures. Our literature analysis reveals co...

When the size of semiconductors is smaller than the phonon mean free path, phonons can carry heat with no internal scattering. Ballistic phonon transport has received attention for both theoretical and practical aspects because Fourier's law of heat conduction breaks down and the heat dissipation in nanoscale transistors becomes unpredictable in the ballistic regime. While recent experiments de...

Future MOS transistors may operate near their ballistic limits [1], so it is important to understand ballistic device physics and the prospects for achieving quasi-ballistic operation. In this paper, we explore the device design and physics issues of MOSFETs at the scaling limits using semiclassical and full quantum simulations. The device we presume is a double-gate (DG) MOSFET with symmetrica...

Anomalous diffusion with ballistic scaling is characterized by a linear spreading rate with respect to time that scales like pure advection. Ballistic scaling may be modeled with a symmetric Riesz derivative if the spreading is symmetric. However, ballistic scaling coupled with a skewness is observed in many applications, including hydrology, nuclear physics, viscoelasticity, and acoustics. The...
