Abstract: Silicon is the primary material of integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing in microelectronic industry. It has high thermal conductivity and superior thermomechanical properties compatible to most semiconductors. These ...

Abstract: In a heat pipe, operating fluid saturates wick structures system and establishes a capillarydriven circulation loop for heat transfer. Thus, the thermophysical properties of the operating fluid inevitably impact the ...

Abstract: Water droplets on bio-mimicked hierarchical roughness exhibit superhydrophobic properties, such as large contact angles, minor dynamic hysteresis, and high mobility. Vapor condensation on such superhydrophobic surface ...
