Abstract: Subambient temperature operations of advanced semiconductor devices offer many benefits, including improved reliability, reduced leakage currents, and enhanced signal to noise ratios. We discuss a ...

Abstract: Pulsed thermoelectric cooling is an attractive approach for the site specific thermal management of infrared sensors and other low-heat flux devices. Intense Joule heating caused by electrical ...

Abstract: The growth and departure of single bubbles on two smooth surfaces with very different wettabilities are studied using high-speed video microscopy and numerical simulations. Isolated artificial ...

Abstract: We report measurements of the thermal conductivity of aqueous suspensions of aluminum oxide nanoparticles with nominal diameters of 20nm, 30nm, and 45nm and at volume concentrations up to 10%. ...

Abstract: Micro heat pipes incorporating advanced wicks are promising for the thermal management of power electronics. We report the heat transfer performance of superhydrophilic Cu micropost wicks fabricated ...

Abstract: We propose a new device-level concept for a thermal switch that exploits the temperature dependence of the magnetization of a ferromagnetic material oscillating between a hot and a cold surface. ...
