Simulation, Prediction, and Verification of the Corrosion Behavior of Cu-Ag Composite Sintered Paste for Power Semiconductor Die-attach Applications

With the popularization of wide band-gap power modules in offshore wind power systems and water surface photovoltaic power stations, packaging materials face challenges of corrosion by salt, blended with high humidity. Copper-silver (Cu-Ag) composite sintered paste was proposed by researchers as a novel die-attach material for a lower cost...

Nanoscale Mapping of the 3D Strain Tensor in a Germanium Quantum Well Hosting a Functional Spin Qubit Device

A strained Ge quantum well, grown on a SiGe/Si virtual substrate and hosting two electrostatically defined hole spin qubits, is nondestructively investigated by synchrotron-based scanning X-ray diffraction microscopy to determine all its Bravais lattice parameters. This allows rendering the three-dimensional spatial dependence of the six...

Effect of different femur shapes on the development of cam-type deformities: The development of a combined bone growth and remodeling algorithm to investigate the effect of different femur shapes generated by a SSAM on the development of cam-type deformities

Introduction: A combined bone growth and remodeling model should be created, to investigate the effect of different femur shapes on the risk of developing cam type deformities. The different femur shapes needed for this study can be created using a statistical shape and appearance model (SSAM). The workflow of the combined bone growth and...

Superconducting Magnetic field Generator: Zeeman Splitting Tuning for Defects in Diamond

Color centers in diamond offer exciting opportunities for implementing an effective solid-state spinphoton interface. Access to and control of spin-photon interaction can help realize a scalable, modular quantum computer using the color center spins. A large magnetic field is needed for splitting the color center spin states, enabling definition...

Shrinkage behaviour of 3D printing concrete mixture: An experimental and numerical study

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials across the world. Although, the traditional construction techniques are being improved for efficiency, cost and material optimization, there are disadvantages as well, such as the use of formwork, highly labourintensive and limited architectural freedom for design and material...
