Li, Shizhen (author), Liu, X. (author), Jiang, Jing (author), Tan, C. (author), Gao, Chenshan (author), Liu, Yang (author), Ye, H. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)Cu-Ag core-shell (CS) nanoparticle (NP) is considered as a cost-effective alternative material to nano silver sintering material in die attachment application. To further reduce the cost, the thickness of the Ag shell can be adjusted. Whereas the shell thickness will also affect the thermal stability of the Cu-Ag CSNPs. In this study, molecular...conference paper 2022

Zhang, X. (author), Kaczmarek, M.B. (author), Hassan HosseinNia, S. (author)In this paper, we introduce a new representation for open-loop reset systems. We show that at steady-state a reset integrator can be modelled as a parallel interconnection of the base-linear system and piece-wise constant nonlinearity. For sinusoidal input signals, this nonlinearity takes a form of a square wave. Subsequently, we show how the...conference paper 2022
