The Microstructure and Thermal Conductivity of Pressureless Infiltrated SiCp/Al Composites Containing Electroless Nickel Platings by Aihua Zou, Xianliang Zhou, Xiaozhen Hua, Duosheng Li, Kaiyang Wu

“…With the addition of the Ni layer, there are some intermetallics Ni3Al but no interfacial carbide Al4C3, which improves the wettability and the thermal conductivity of the composites. The experiments and simulations both show that Ni coatings do not substantially decrease the overall thermal conductivity of the composite, although the thermal conductivity of Ni itself is lower than Al and SiC by a factor of 1.…”

Resonant Tunneling Nanostructures: Eliminating Current Saturation on Negative Differential Conductivity Region in Compact Dissipative Simulations by Natalia Vetrova, Evgeny Kuimov, Sergey Meshkov, Vladimir Sinyakin, Mstislav Makeev, Vasiliy Shashurin

“…The reason for this problem is the asymptotic behavior of the function describing the structure transparency, so a non-saturating compact model was proposed to solve the problem of current transfer analysis in the region of negative differential conductivity. Validation of the proposed model confirmed its adequacy without losing the ability to analyze current transfer processes. …”
