, 2011 By using molecular dynamics simulations, we study thermal conductivity of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) with different cross sectional geometries. It is found that thermal conductivity decreases monotonically with the increase of surface-to-volume ratio (SVR)

Thickness-dependent thermal properties of amorphous insulating thin films measured by photoreflectance microscopy [PDF]
, 2017 In this work, we report on the measurement of the thermal conductivity of thin insulating films of SiO2 obtained by thermal oxidation, and Al2O3 grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD), both on Si wafers.

Experimental Determination of the Lorenz Number in Cu0.01Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 and Bi0.88Sb0.12
, 2012 Nanostructuring has been shown to be an effective approach to reduce the lattice thermal conductivity and improve the thermoelectric figure of merit. Because the experimentally measured thermal conductivity includes contributions from both carriers and ...

Impact of Screw and Edge Dislocation on the Thermal Conductivity of Nanowires and Bulk GaN
, 2017 We report on thermal transport properties of wurtzite GaN in the presence of dislocations, by using molecular dynamics simulations. A variety of isolated dislocations in a nanowire configuration were analyzed and found to reduce considerably the thermal ...

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Magneto-thermal conductivity effect and enhanced thermoelectric figure of merit in Ag2Te
AIP Advances, 2023 In this study, we report a large magneto-thermal conductivity effect, potentially usable in heat flow switches and thermoelectric devices, in Ag2Te over a wide temperature range, including room temperature.

Multiscale modeling of heat conduction in graphene laminates
, 2017 We developed a combined atomistic-continuum hierarchical multiscale approach to explore the effective thermal conductivity of graphene laminates. To this aim, we first performed molecular dynamics simulations in order to study the heat conduction at ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Phonon transport in $\mathrm{Na_2He}$ at high pressure from a first-principles study
, 2017 Phonon transport of recently-fabricated $\mathrm{Na_2He}$ at high pressure is investigated from a combination of first-principles calculations and the linearized phonon Boltzmann equation within the single-mode relaxation time approximation (RTA).
