Abstract Joule-heating reactors have the higher energy efficiency and product selectivity compared with based on radiative heating. Current are constructed electrically-conductive metals or carbon materials, therefore suffer from stability issue due to presence of corrosive oxidizing gases during high-temperature reactions. In this study, chemically-stable (La 0.80 Sr 0.20 ) 0.95 FeO 3 (LSF)/Gd...

We investigate theoretically the interplay of current-induced forces (CIFs), Joule heating, and heat transport inside a current-carrying nanoconductor. We find that the CIFs, due to the electron-phonon coherence, can control the spatial heat dissipation in the conductor. This yields a significant asymmetric concentration of excess heating (hot spot) even for a symmetric conductor. When coupled ...

We introduce a high sensitivity (1J/m) scanning microcalorimeter that can be used at high heating rates (10 °C/s). The system is designed using ultrathin SiN membranes that serve as a low thermal mass mechanical support structure for the calorimeter. Calorimetry measurements of the system are accomplished via resistive heating techniques applied to a thin film Ni heating element that also serve...

Writing information onto nanoscale magnetic oscillators as magnetic bits presents many challenges, some of which become more formidable as we pursue higherdensity information storage. It is true that the electric current densities needed at present to rotate the magnetization direction are lower than those needed in traditional semiconductor devices, where information has to be constantly rewri...
