Modeling Sub-Continuum Effects on the Mechanical Properties of Ultrathin Macromolecular Layers

King W.P., Goodson K.E., Stanford University, US

This paper makes progress on the prediction of mechanical modulus and mechanical relaxation time of macromolecular materials at small length and time scales. Fundamental studies of large molecules in confined geometries inform predictions of macroscopic [...]

Impact of Heat Source Localization on Conduction Cooling of Silicon-on-Insulator Devices

Sverdrup P.G., Ju Y.S., Goodson K.E., Stanford University, US

The temperature rise in compact silicon devices is strongly underestimated at present by simulations using conventional heat diffusion theory, which is based on the Fourier heat conduction law. This problem is particularly important for devices [...]
