Ultrafast thermal boundary conductance under large temperature discontinuities of ultrathin epitaxial Pb films on Si(111)
Heat transfer is a critical aspect of modern electronics, and a deeper understanding of the underlying physics is essential for building faster, smaller, and more powerful devices with an improved performance and efficiency. In such nanoscale structures the heat transfer between two materials is limited by the finite thermal boundary conductance across their interface. Using ultrafast electron diffraction under grazing incidence we investigated the heat transfer from ultrathin epitaxial Pb film…

Gerade erst heute auf dem Electric Drive youtube Kanal den CLA gesehen und gedacht "mit dem LFP-Akku könnte der interessant sein" und dann les ich jetzt das hier. Ja, nee - danke.

Phase Evolution and Substrate-Dependent Nucleation of Quartz GeO$_2$ Films Grown by MOCVD on r- and c-Plane Sapphires
Ultrawide-bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors, such as GeO$_2$, are gaining significant attention for their potential in high-performance applications, particularly in piezoelectric devices. Despite extensive research, a comprehensive understanding of the growth dynamics and phase evolution of GeO$_2$ films via metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) remains insufficient. In this study, we investigate the growth behavior and morphological evolution of GeO$_2$ thin films on r-plane and c-plane…

More Belgian (Flemish?) households with solar panels, batteries or electric vehicles will be able to benefit from the flexibility they can offer the energy system as energy retailers Bolt and Trevion collaborate with VPP operator Powernaut.

Powernaut, Bolt, Trevion and Partners launch Belgium’s first energy contracts that pay consumers for grid support - Powernaut
Using Powernaut’s smart software, households with solar panels, home batteries, or EVs can now earn money by allowing their energy retailer to manage their devices intelligently. For example, devices may charge or reduce output during peak times to avoid grid overload. Retailers like Bolt and Trevion are offering these new contracts, allowing customers to benefit financially without sacrificing comfort. Partners such as Qbus and Innovoltus support the initiative, which is seen as a key step …
