Ultrafast water permeation in aquaporins is promoted by their hydrophobic interior surface. Polytetrafluoroethylene has a dense fluorine surface, leading to its strong repellence. We report series of fluorous oligoamide nanorings with diameters ranging from 0.9 1.9 nanometers. These undergo supramolecular polymerization phospholipid bilayer membranes form nanochannels, the walls which are densely covered atoms. The nanochannel smallest diameter exhibits flux that two orders magnitude greater...
Thermal conductance at interface with weak van der Waals bonding can become larger than that strong covalent bonding.
As a wide bandgap semiconductor, diamond holds both excellent electrical and thermal properties, making it highly promising in the industry. However, its hole mobility is relatively low dramatically decreases with increasing temperature, which severely limits further applications. Herein, we proposed that can be efficiently enhanced via slight compressive shear strain along [100] direction, while improvement [111] direction marginal. This impressive distinction attributed to deformation...
Due to the high intrinsic thermal conductivity, carbon nanotubes are very promising serve as effective interface materials for microelectronics or other cooling applications. However, performance of nanotube based material is strongly limited by small contact area and weak bonding at interface. Here, we propose a junction structure that bonded with monolayer graphene, which could potentially enhance conductance. Molecular dynamics simulations show conductance can be enhanced least 40%...
Phonon surface scattering is of great importance for understanding thermal transport in nanostructured materials and has been widely utilized to tailor properties. However, the current phonon largely based on Ziman's formula which was derived at continuum limit scalar wave equation and, thus, ignoring atomistic information surface.

Two-dimensional gallium nitride (2D-GaN) has great potential in power electronics and optoelectronics. Heat dissipation is a critical issue for these applications of 2D-GaN. Previous studies have shown that higher-order phonon–phonon scattering extremely strong effects on the lattice thermal conductivity (κlat) 2D-GaN, with fourth-order interatomic force constants (4th-IFCs) calculated using experienced atomic displacement finite difference method. In this work, it found 4th-IFCs 2D-GaN are...

In this work, we perform two-dimensional atomistic wave-packet simulations investigate angular-resolved phonon reflection a surface. Different surface morphologies, including smooth periodically rough and surfaces amorphous coatings, are considered. For...
Despite the importance of physical understanding interfacial thermal conductance (G) for metal/graphene (Gr)/dielectric interfaces, there exists a large discrepancy regarding role dielectric substrates in transport across graphene interfaces previous studies. In this work, we experimentally investigate impact on metal/Gr/dielectric through accurately measuring G various Al/Gr/dielectric over temperature range 80–300 K, using both standard time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) and differential...
4H-silicon carbide (4H-SiC) possesses a high Baliga figure of merit, making it promising material for power electronics. However, its applications are limited by low hole mobility. Herein, we found that the mobility 4H-SiC is mainly strong interband electron-phonon scattering using mode-level first-principles calculations. Our research indicates applying compressive strain can reverse sign crystal-field splitting and change ordering electron bands close to valence band maximum. Therefore,...

A series of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) was grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition with different well thickness. High-resolution x-ray diffraction studies revealed that the In composition is increasing along growth direction from bottom to top each layer in these MQWs. While at almost keeps constant, rate becomes obviously larger when temperature decreased. The important conclusion this study MQWs shaped like a triangle due layer. emission mechanism has be discussed...
