Impact of viscous dissipation and Dufour on MHD natural convective flow past an accelerated vertical plate with Hall current

The present research work concentrates on viscous dissipation, Dufour, and heat source on an unsteady magnetohydrodynamics natural convective flow of a viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid past an exponentially accelerated infinite vertical plate in the existence of a strong magnetic field. The presence of the Hall current induces a secondary flow in the problem. The distinguishing features of viscous dissipation and heat flux produced due to gradient of concentration included in the model along with heat source as they are known to arise in thermal-magnetic polymeric processing. The flow equations are discretized implicitly using the finite difference method and solved using MATLAB fsolve routine. Numerical values of the primary and secondary velocities, temperature, concentration, skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are illustrated and presented via graphs and tables for various pertinent parametric values. The Dufour effect was observed to strengthen the velocity and temperature profile in the flow domain. In contrast, due to the impact of viscous dissipation, the local Nusselt number reduces. The study also reveals that the inclusion of the chemical reaction term augments the mass transfer rate and diminishes the heat transfer rate at the plate.

Preparation of faceted TaN grains by heating Ta-containing oxides in BN crucible with Na

Single-crystal grains of TaN were synthesized by heating Ta₂O₅, FeTa₂O₆, or FeTaO₄ in a BN crucible together with Na metal in an Ar atmosphere at 1100 °C. The BN crucible acted a solid source of nitrogen. Aggregates of columnar ε-TaN single crystals 10–150 μm in size were formed on the inner wall of the BN crucible when either Ta₂O₅ or FeTa₂O₆ was used. On the other hand, platelet-like single crystals of θ-TaN 1–50 μm in size were obtained from FeTaO₄. The results of wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectrometry indicated that the compositions of the ε-TaN and θ-TaN crystals were close to the stoichiometric ideal.

Full-chip wire-oriented back-end-of-line TDDB hotspot detection and lifetime analysis

Time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) has become an important cause of failure for inter-metal dielectrics (IMD) in integrated circuits as feature sizes continue to shrink and novel materials are introduced. Although many studies have been conducted to understand the underlying physics of this issue, not enough work has been focused on evaluating TDDB lifetime of practical chip designs in the physical design stage. This paper proposes a full-chip TDDB failure analysis methodology to evaluate lifetime and identify TDDB hotspots in VLSI layouts, which are essentially interconnect wires that have high failure risk due to TDDB. The proposed method features three new techniques compared to existing methods. First, we have developed a partitioning-based scheme to deal with scaling of full-chip analysis by partitioning the full chip layout into small tiles. Second, for each tile, the new method calculates a newly-introduced TDDB failure metric called TDDB Damage for vulnerable wires. Such a wire-oriented TDDB analysis is the first of its kind and is very amenable for physical design as the wires can be easily adjusted or re-routed for TDDB-aware optimization. Third, the new method considers the impact of the non-uniform electric field calculated using the finite element method (FEM), which significantly improves the accuracy of TDDB risk evaluation. Experimental results show that the proposed new TDDB analysis method is more accurate than a recently proposed full-chip TDDB analysis method in which electrical field is treated as a constant value. Additionally, the proposed method can analyze a practical VLSI layout in a few hours.

Design and optimization of radioisotope sources for betavoltaic batteries

A Monte Carlo source model using PENELOPE was developed to investigate different tritiated metals in order to design a better radioisotope source for betavoltaic batteries. The source model takes into account the self‐absorption of beta particles in the source which is a major factor for an efficient source design. The average beta energy, beta flux, source power output, and source efficiency were estimated for various source thicknesses. The simulated results for titanium tritide with 0° and 90° angular distributions of beta particles were validated with experimental results. The importance of the backscattering effect due to isotropic particle emission was analyzed. The results showed that the normalized average beta energy increases with the source thickness, and it reaches peak energy depending on the density and the specific activity of the source. The beta flux and power output also increase with increasing source thickness. However, the incremental increase in beta flux and power output becomes minimal for higher thicknesses, as the source efficiency decreases significantly at higher thicknesses due to the self‐absorption effect. Thus, a saturation threshold is reached. A low‐density source material such as beryllium tritide provided a higher power output with higher efficiency. A maximum power output of approximately 4 mW/cm³ was obtained for beryllium tritide with SiC. A form factor approach was used to estimate the optimum source thickness. The optimum source thickness was found near the thickness where the peak beta particle average energy occurs.
