Sintering mechanism of Ag nanoparticle-nanoflake: a molecular dynamics simulation

This paper studied the behaviors of sintering between Ag nanoparticle (NP) and nanoflake (NF) in the same size by molecular dynamics simulation. Before the sintering simulation, the melting simulation of NF was carried out to calculate the melting points of NFs and investigate the thermostability of NF. The Lindemann index and potential...

Research on Thermal-Mechanical Properties of GaN Power Module Based on QFN Package by Using Nano Copper/Silver Sinter Paste

The wide-bandgap semiconductors represented by GaN have a broad application prospect because of their high service temperature and high switch frequency. Quad-Flat-No-Lead (QFN) Package is currently one of the mainstream packaging methods due to its low cost and high efficiency. However, the low reliability of QFN used in GaN devices is still...

Evaluation of short-term streamflow prediction methods in Urban river basins

Efficient and accurate streamflow predictions are important for urban water management. Data-driven models, especially neural network (NN) models can predict streamflow fast, while the results are uncertain in some complex river systems. Physically based models can reveal the underlying physics, but it is relatively slow and computationally...
