Abstract: Serpentine interconnects, as an integral part of island-bridge layouts, enable extremely large reversible deformation under the action of mechanical loads and are thus widely used in the emerging new field of stretchable ...

Abstract: Metal nanoparticle has been a promising option for fillers in thermal interface materials due to its low cost and ease of fabrication. However, nanoparticle aggregation effect is not well understood because of its complexity. ...

Abstract: A new design has been proposed and numerically analyzed for the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate of gallium arsenide (GaAs) photovoltaics. A stack structure is realized by inserting a cube between island and basement, ...

Abstract: AbstractThe roles of straining and dissipation in controlling stratification are derived analytically using a vertical salinity variance method. Stratification is produced by converting horizontal variance to vertical ...

Abstract: AbstractWe investigate the effect of turbulence on the collisional growth of micrometer-sized droplets through high-resolution numerical simulations with well-resolved Kolmogorov scales, assuming a collision and coalescence ...
