Porous Si thermal conductivity was determined in a wide temperature range from 20 to 350 K using the steady-state direct current method and a subsequent finite element method. The method was applied to a 40 µ m thick porous Si layer of ∼60% porosity, formed on p-type Si of resistivity 1–10 Ω cm. It was found that in t…

The higher-order structure in multicomponent polymeric systems is governed by the kinetic as well as thermodynamic factors, because both crystallization and molecular diffusion are relatively slow in polymers. In crystalline/amorphous polymer blends, the higher-order structure is formed by the competition or interplay…
