High-Throughput Computation Of Interfacial Thermal Management Of Wide-Bandgap Semiconductors, Hao-Wen Chen
High-Throughput Computation Of Interfacial Thermal Management Of Wide-Bandgap Semiconductors, Hao-Wen Chen
Theses and Dissertations
As semiconductor electronics, in particular high electron mobility transistors, get hot in operation, people are trying to incorporate different semiconductor materials to solve the problem of heat dissipation to maintain the device efficiency and performance. In this master thesis, two different packages, LAMMPS and almaBTE, that are focusing on micro-scale and atomic scale respectively, are used to simulate the heat transfer process across interfaces in two different scales. In the LAMMPS simulation, the research is exploring how the location of atoms and the thickness of interfacial layers will influence the interfacial thermal conductance. On the other hand, using the almaBTE …

Crystal Growth, Characterization And Fabrication Of Cdznte-Based Nuclear Detectors, Ramesh Madhu Krishna
Theses and Dissertations
In today's world, nuclear radiation is seeing more and more use by humanity as time goes on. Nuclear power plants are being built to supply humanity's energy needs, nuclear medical imaging is becoming more popular for diagnosing cancer and other diseases, and control of weapons-grade nuclear materials is becoming more and more important for national security. All of these needs require high-performance nuclear radiation detectors which can accurately measure the type and amount of radiation being used. However, most current radiation detection materials available commercially require extensive cooling, or simply do not function adequately for high-energy gamma-ray emitting nuclear materials …
