Some Lessons on Entrepreneurship in Nanotechnology (and, Mechanical Engineers do 'nano', too)
Online Presentations | 18 Feb 2016 | Contributor(s): Timothy S Fisher
Professor Tim Fisher will talk about his brief excursion into starting (and stopping) a company, with a focus on lessons learned that are related to education and academic research. He will also try to convince a likely skeptical audience that mechanical engineers have something valuable to...

Tutorial 2: A Bottom-Up View of Heat Transfer in Nanomaterials
Online Presentations | 23 Mar 2011 | Contributor(s): Timothy S Fisher
This lecture provides a theoretical development of the transport of thermal energy by conduction in nanomaterials. The physical nature of energy transport by two carriers—electrons and phonons--will be explored from basic principles using a common Landauer framework. Issues including the quantum...
Heat Transfer across Solid Contacts Enhanced with Nanomaterials
0.0 out of 5 stars
Online Presentations | 11 Feb 2008 | Contributor(s): Timothy S Fisher
This presentation will describe thermal transport processes at solid-solid material interfaces. An overview of applications in the electronics industry will serve to motivate the subject, and then the basic diffusive constriction theory will be developed. The addition of carbon nanotube arrays to...
Electron Emission from Nanoscale Carbon Materials
Online Presentations | 15 May 2007 | Contributor(s): Timothy S Fisher
Prior studies on electron emission show possibly beneficial effects ofnanoscale phenomena on energy-conversion characteristics. For example,recent work has shown that the electric field around a nanoscale fieldemission device can increase the average energy of emitted electrons. Weconsider here...
BNC Annual Research Symposium: Nanoscale Energy Conversion
Online Presentations | 23 Apr 2007 | Contributor(s): Timothy S Fisher
This presentation is part of a collection of presentations describing the projects, people, and capabilities enhanced by research performed in the Birck Center, and a look at plans for the upcoming year.
Understanding Phonon Dynamics via 1D Atomic Chains
Online Presentations | 04 Apr 2006 | Contributor(s): Timothy S Fisher
Phonons are the principal carriers of thermal energy in semiconductors and insulators, and they serve a vital role in dissipating heat produced by scattered electrons in semiconductor devices. Despite the importance of phonons, rigorous understanding and inclusion of phonon dynamics in...
