Abstract: Thin films that are superconducting above liquid-nitrogen temperature possess promising applications in electronics and sensor technology. The design, the characterization and the processing of ...

Abstract: The thermal conductivities of solid layers of thicknesses from 0.01 to 100 μm affect the performance and reliability of electronic circuits, laser systems, and microfabricated sensors. This work ...

Abstract: In earlier publications, heat Q ← is defined as an interaction that is entirely distinguishable from work W → . The energy exchanged Q ← is T Q times the entropy exchanged S ← , where T ...
