Molecular dynamics simulations on mechanical behaviors of sintered nanocopper in power electronics packaging

Nano-metal materials have received considerable attention because of their promising performance in wide bandgap semiconductor packaging. In this study, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed to simulate the nano-Cu sintering mechanism and the subsequent mechanical behaviors. Hybrid sintering, comprising nanosphere (NS) and...

A Series of Ternary Metal Chloride Superionic Conductors for High-Performance All-Solid-State Lithium Batteries

Understanding the relationship between structure, ionic conductivity, and synthesis is the key to the development of superionic conductors. Here, a series of Li_3-3_xM₁₊_xCl₆ (−0.14 < x ≤ 0.5, M = Tb, Dy, Ho, Y, Er, Tm) solid electrolytes with orthorhombic and trigonal structures are...
