Electrochemical Copper Deposition on Nanoscale-Sculptured Aluminum for Mechanically Stable Joints with Optimal Electrical and Heat Transport Properties
Abstract:Copper is a material with a very high conductivity per volume; therefore it is widely used in the industry for nearly every electric application. However, with respect to weight aluminum (due to its low density of 2.7 g/cm3) shows a significantly higher electrical conductivity than copper. For many lightweight applications, aluminum would be the preferred material, but it lacks for good technical solutions for forming easy to apply, corrosion resistant, highly conductive contacts to (other) metals, especially … 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.
