Understanding coupled mass-heat transport in fluids by approach-to-equilibrium molecular dynamics
Antonio Cappai, Luciano Colombo, Claudio Melis
We present a generalization of AEMD approach, routinely applied to estimate thermal conductivity, to the more general case in which Soret and Dufour effects determine a coupled hea…
Multiscale modeling of resistive switching in gold nanogranular films
Miquel López-Suárez, Claudio Melis, Luciano Colombo +1
Metallic nanogranular films display a complex dynamical response to a constant bias, showing up as atypical resistive switching mechanism which could be used to create electrical c…
Thermal transport in ultrathin Si nanowires: a first principles study
Konstanze R. Hahn, Claudio Melis, Fabio Bernardini +2
Phonon properties of small Si nanowires in [110] direction have been analyzed using density functional perturbation theory. Several samples with varying diameters ranging from 0.38…
Stiffening of nanoporous Au as a result of dislocation density increase upon characteristic length reduction
Claudio Melis, Giorgio Pia, Elisa Sogne +4
Structure is the most distinctive feature of nanoporous metals. The intricate maze of rounded shapes, where ligaments and pores run after each other disorderly, strikes imagination…
Thermal Transport in Amorphous Graphene with Varying Structural Quality
Aleandro Antidormi, Luciano Colombo, Stephan Roche
The synthesis of wafer-scale two-dimensional amorphous carbon monolayers has been recently demonstrated. This material presents useful properties when integrated as coating of meta…
Observation of second sound in a rapidly varying temperature field in Ge
Albert Beardo, Miquel López-Suárez, Luis Alberto Pérez +9
Second sound is known as the thermal transport regime where heat is carried by temperature waves. Its experimental observation was previously restricted to a small number of materi…
