Grain size-induced thermo-mechanical coupling in zirconium thin films
At the bulk scale, thermal conductivity of metals is not coupled with mechanical strain. However, this may not be the same for grain sizes below the electron mean free path, for which mechanical deformation me...

Characterization of very low thermal conductivity thin films
Characterization of thermal transport in nanoscale thin films with very low thermal conductivity (<1 W m−1 K−1) is challenging due to the difficulties in accurately measuring spatial variations in temperature fie...

In-plane thermal conductance measurement of one-dimensional nanostructures
We present a new analytical model for thermal conductivity measurement of one-dimensional nanostructures on substrates. The model expands the capability of the conventional 3ω technique, to make it versatile w...

Chemical dissolution of total content of fallout plutonium in deep-sea sediment
Simple nitric acid leaching and alkali fusion techniques for the determination of the total content of fallout239,240Pu in deep-sea sediment were compared. Leaching neither with boiling conc. HNO3 nor with boilin...

Host phase of239,240Pu and241Am in deep-sea sediment
Host phases of fallout239,240Pu and241Am were studied in the surface sediments obtained in 1994 from abyssal basins of relatively small area of the western North Pacific. An analytical procedure involving sequent...
