Abstract: Pyroelectric film materials, including polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and its copolymers (e.g., P(VDF/trifluoroethylene)), are attractive candidates for low-cost infrared detection and imaging applications ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations of time-dependent energy transport in semiconductor thin films are performed using the lattice Boltzmann method applied to phonon transport. The discrete lattice Boltzmann ...

Abstract: Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to estimate acoustical and optical phonon relaxation times, dispersion relations, group velocities, and specific heat of silicon needed to solve the ...

Abstract: A hierarchical model of heat transfer for the thermal analysis of electronic devices is presented. The integration of participating scales (from nanoscale to macroscales) is achieved by (i) ...

Abstract: Integration of different functional components such as level two (L2) cache memory, high-speed I/O interfaces, and memory controller has enhanced microprocessor performance. In this architecture, ...
