Optimizing the interfacial thermal conductance at gold-alkane junctions from 'First Principles'
Jingjie Zhang, Carlos A. Polanco, Avik W. Ghosh
We theoretically explore the influence of end-group chemistry (bond stiffness and mass) on the interfacial thermal conductance at a gold-alkane interface. We accomplish this using…
Effects of bulk and interfacial anharmonicity on thermal conductance at solid/solid interfaces
Nam Q. Le, Carlos A. Polanco, Rouzbeh Rastgarkafshgarkolaei +3
We present the results of classical molecular dynamics simulations to assess the relative contributions to interfacial thermal conductance from inelastic phonon processes at the in…
Computational Investigation of Half-Heusler Compounds for Spintronics Applications
Jianhua Ma, Vinay I. Hegde, Kamaram Munira +6
We present first-principles density functional calculations of the electronic structure, magnetism, and structural stability of 378 half-Heusler compounds (with …
Design rules for interfacial thermal conductance - building better bridges
Carlos A. Polanco, Rouzbeh Rastgarkafshgarkolaei, Jingjie Zhang +3
We study the thermal conductance across solid-solid interfaces as the composition of an intermediate matching layer is varied. In absence of phonon-phonon interactions, an added la…
Numerical Fokker-Planck study of stochastic write error slope in spin torque switching
Yunkun Xie, Behtash Behin-Aein, Avik W. Ghosh
This paper analyzes write errors in spin torque switching due to thermal fluctuations in a system with Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy (PMA). Prior analytical and numerical metho…
First principles study and empirical parametrization of twisted bilayer MoS2 based on band-unfolding
Yaohua Tan, Fan Chen, Avik Ghosh
We explore the band structure and ballistic electron transport in twisted bilayer using Density Functional Theory (DFT). The sphagetti like bands are unfolded to g…
