Abstract: One of the approaches for micro/nanoscale heat transfer in semiconductors and dielectric materials is to use the Boltzmann transport equation, which reduces to the equation of phonon radiative ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation on the infrared radiative properties of heavily doped Si at room temperature. Lightly doped Si wafers were ion-implanted with either boron or ...

Abstract: This paper describes a theoretical investigation of near-field radiative heat transfer between doped silicon surfaces separated by a vacuum gap. An improved dielectric function model for heavily ...

Abstract: There have been growing interests in selective control of thermal emission by using micro/nanostructures. The present study describes direct measurements of infrared thermal emission at elevated ...

Abstract: An EHL (elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication) analysis of an all-metal viscoelastic high-pressure seal is presented. The fluid flow is assumed to be laminar and isothermal, and its inertial effect is ...

Abstract: Submicron metallic slit arrays with different geometry were designed and fabricated on silicon substrates. Their infrared radiative properties (transmittance, reflectance, and absorptance) were ...

Abstract: The determination of emissivity of layered structures is critical in many applications, such as radiation thermometry, microelectronics, radiative cooling, and energy harvesting. Two different ...

Abstract: SiGe alloys represent an important type of high-temperature semiconductor material for solid-state energy conversion. In the present study, the near-field radiative heat transfer between heavily ...
