Rayleigh waves, surface disorder, and phonon localization in nanostructures
L. N. Maurer, S. Mei, I. Knezevic
We introduce a technique to calculate thermal conductivity in disordered nanostructures: a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) solution of the elastic wave equation combined with…
Universal features of phonon transport in nanowires with correlated surface roughness
L. N. Maurer, Z. Aksamija, E. B. Ramayya +2
The ultralow thermal conductivity observed experimentally in intentionally roughened silicon nanowires (SiNWs) is reproduced in phonon Monte Carlo simulations with exponentiall…
Ultrathin GaN Nanowires: Electronic, Thermal, and Thermoelectric Properties
A. H. Davoody, E. B. Ramayya, L. N. Maurer +1
We present a comprehensive computational study of the electronic, thermal, and thermoelectric (TE) properties of gallium nitride nanowires (NWs) over a wide range of thicknesses (3…
Simulating Interference and Diffraction in Instructional Laboratories
Leon Maurer
Studies have shown that standard lectures and instructional laboratory experiments are not effective at teaching interference and diffraction. In response, the author created an in…
Microwave Photon Counter Based on Josephson Junctions
Y. -F. Chen, D. Hover, S. Sendelbach +5
We describe a microwave photon counter based on the current-biased Josephson junction. The junction is tuned to absorb single microwave photons from the incident field, after which…
