Abstract:In this study, the thermal conductivity (κ) of Al-Cu eutectics was investigated by experimental and computational methods to shed light on the role of these compounds in thermal properties of Al-Cu connections in compound casting. Specifically, the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) method was utilized to simulate the lattice thermal conductivity (κl) of six compositions of Al-Cu with 5-30 at. % Cu. To extend the results of the MD simulations to bulk materials, instead of using conventional linear extrapol… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
