Interfacial Thermal Conductance Due To Electronic Heat Transport Across A Normal-metal to Superconductor Boundary Of Dissimilar Materials

This paper reanalyzes six decades of thermal transport data across normal-metal to superconductor interfaces to demonstrate that electronic heat transport, particularly when modeled using the Bardeen-Rickayzen-Teword (BRT) framework adapted with the Wiedemann-Franz law, is a dominant and necessary mechanism alongside phonons to explain experimental results across a wide temperature range, whereas other proposed electronic models fail to align with observations.

Micron-scale Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes with EQE Exceeding 42%

This study demonstrates the first dual-function molecularly engineered charge generation layer using fluorinated BPAF to simultaneously passivate defects and modulate energy bands in ZnO, enabling all-solution-processed tandem QLEDs to achieve a record-breaking 42.82% external quantum efficiency at 10,160 PPI while overcoming the intrinsic efficiency-resolution trade-off for next-generation near-eye displays.

Diffusionless (martensitic) phase transition of Fe90Ni10 alloy up to 6 GPa

This study utilizes in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction to demonstrate that Fe90Ni10 alloy undergoes a diffusionless martensitic transition from fcc to bcc phases under pressures up to 6 GPa, revealing a negative pressure dependence for the transformation temperature and establishing that this rapid mechanism, rather than slow chemical separation, governs the physical responses of small planetary cores to dynamic events.

Analytical solution of Advection diffusion equation in three dimensional through Atmospheric Boundary Layer

This paper presents an analytical solution to the three-dimensional steady-state advection-diffusion equation for pollutant dispersion in the atmospheric boundary layer, utilizing power-law profiles for vertical eddy diffusivity and wind speed along with a Laplace transform method, and validates the model's accuracy against the Prairie Grass stable experiment observations.

Coupled Effects of Boundary Corrugation and Hartmann Damping on Nanofluid Convection in Isosceles Triangular Enclosures: A High-Fidelity Thermophysical Analysis

This study employs a high-fidelity non-orthogonal Discrete Finite Element Method to demonstrate that temperature-dependent nanofluid models significantly outperform classical formulations in predicting MHD convection within wavy triangular enclosures, while identifying a critical Hartmann number threshold where electromagnetic forces suppress geometric boundary effects.

Laser power density driven residual stress and surface quality of AA7075 alloy under laser shock peening

This study investigates the impact of laser power density and overlap strategies on the residual stress and surface quality of AA7075 alloy under Laser Shock Peening, revealing that cumulative strain from optimal pulse overlaps, rather than peak shock pressure alone, is the primary determinant for maximizing compressive residual stress while avoiding surface damage.

How a Laser Heats up: Operando Spatio-temporal Heat Dynamics Mapping in Group-IV Lasers

This study utilizes operando X-ray microscopy and simulations to reveal that contact-mediated Joule heating, rather than heat generation in the gain medium, is the dominant thermal bottleneck in electrically driven Group-IV microdisk lasers, establishing contact engineering as the key to improving device performance.
