Carbon nanofibers (CNF) are proposed for electrical interconnect applications because of their relatively large current capacity and ability to form well-aligned one-dimensional structures. It is experimentally determined that nanofibers that are suspended between two electrodes breakdown at or near the nanofiber center. Based on published property values a simple model is used to calculate the temperature and quantify the effect of heat generation at the CNF/electrode interface on the nanofiber temperature. The model has the capability to separately account for the substrate temperature and the temperature at the CNF/electrode junction. It is determined that the CNF reaches a temperature at which carbon oxidation is likely to occur.

AbstractThe correlation between the Cr aggregation and magnetic properties are investigated for the series of Zn1-xCrxTe films grown by MBE with a systematic variation of growth conditions. Structural and chemical analyses using TEM and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) reveal that the crystallinity and the Cr distribution change significantly with the substrate temperature during the MBE growth. For a relatively low average Cr content x ≅ 0.05, it is found that the crystal quality is improved with the increase of the substrate temperature. For a higher average Cr content x ≅ 0.2, the shape of Cr-rich regions is transformed from isolated clusters into one-dimensional nanocolumns with the increase of the substrate temperature. The direction of the nanocolumn formation changes depending on the crystallographic orientation of the grown films. In the magnetization measurements, anisotropic magnetic properties are observed in the films in which Cr-rich nanocolumns are formed in the vertical direction, depending on the relation between the direction of the nanocolumns and the applied magnetic fields.

Experiments were conducted to determine conditions under which good metallurgical bonding was achieved in vertical walls composed of multiple layers of droplets that were fabricated by depositing tin droplets layer by layer. Molten tin droplets (0.75 mm diameter) were deposited using a pneumatic droplet generator on an aluminum substrate. The primary parameters varied in experiments were those found to most affect bonding between droplets on different layers: droplet temperature (varied from 250°C to 325°C) and substrate temperature (varied from 100°C to 190°C). Considering the cooling rate of droplet is much faster than the deposition rate previous deposition layer cooled down too much that impinging droplets could only remelt a thin surface layer after impact. Assuming that remelting between impacting droplets and the previous deposition layer is a one-dimensional Stefan problem with phase change an analytical solution can be found and applied to predict the minimum droplet temperature and substrate temperature required for local remelting. It was experimentally confirmed that good bonding at the interface of two adjacent layers could be achieved when the experimental parameters were such that the model predicted remelting.

A comprehensive axisymmetric model of the coupled thermal-electrical-mechanical analysis predicting weld nugget development and residual stresses for the resistance spot welding process of Al-alloys is developed. The model estimates the heat generation at the faying surface, the workpiece-electrode interface, and the Joule heating of the workpiece and electrode. The phase change due to melting in the weld pool is considered. The contact area and its pressure distribution at both the faying surface and the electrode-workpiece interface are determined from a coupled thermal-mechanical model using a finite element method. The knowledge of the interface pressure provides accurate prediction of the interfacial heat generation. For the numerical model, temperature dependent thermal, electrical and mechanical properties are used. The proposed model can successfidly calculate the nugget diameter and thickness, and predict the residual stresses and the elastic-plastic deformation history. The calculated nugget shape and the deformation of sheets based on the model are compared with the experimental data. The computed residual stresses approach the distribution of experimental measurement of the residual stress.

1. Introduction .—Gamow's elegant deduction by general arguments of the law of radioactive decay by α-particle emission and his subsequent investigations on artificial disintegration suggested to us the desirability of investigating as closely as possible any simple model of a decaying nucleus as a verification of his general approximations. For the model chosen the exact investigation of the decay process is almost trivial. Since we obtained this, now some time ago, Dr. Gamow informed us that he had also obtained equivalent detailed results. Still more recently such results have been published by Kudar. We shall not therefore dwell upon them here. The application of the same ideals, however, to the reverse process of penetration presents points of very definite interest, which we think are well worth discussion. The main point that arises is that the chance of penetration α-particle is or is not equal to a characteristic energy of the nucleus itself. This is a point which is not dealt with by Gamow in his paper. We have discussed it with him, and now put forward the results we have obtained. Since the solution of the decay problem is required in the main discussion of the penetration of α-particles into the nucleus it is included here in 2 for reference. We must emphasise that we claim no novelty, except of detail, for the work of 2; the general lines by now are a matter of fairly common knowledge.
