The book has 25 chapters and is divided into 5 parts. The first part which is about Basic architectures and system perspectives deals with Evolution of monolithic phase-locked loops; Fractional-N frequency synthesis; Clock data recovery: a system perspective; and Silicon-based T…
Lithium-ion batteries are common in everyday life, while being strategically critical to the decarbonization and electrification of transportation. To meet higher range demands and lower costs per kWh of storage, higher energy density battery chemistries relying on new anode che…
The flat panel display market requires new and improved technologies in order to keep up with the requirements of modem lifestyles. Electron field emission from thin film amorphous semiconductors is potentially such a technology. For this technology to become viable, improvement…
This PhD thesis presents the outcome of employing both nanosecond and femtosecond pulsed lasers in order to modify the surface structure of a material at the micro and nano scales. Literature review was carried out on micro/nano fabrication technologies involved in the semicondu…
Aluminum based reactive nanomaterials have extensive applications in many fields including solid propellants, pyrotechnics, and catalytic reactions. One recent example is the novel concept of using nanostructured energetic particles for energy storage where the controlled exothe…
Boiling heat transfer provides a means of removing high heat fluxes at low temperature differences in many applications in the power and process industries. A strong interest has been also developed for the cooling of silicon-based devices, such as electronic chips. However, a c…
