Seminar: HYDRODYNAMIC PHENOMENA IN THERMAL TRANSPORT
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 22 Jul '22

22 Jul '22

Sent on behalf of Ali Shakouri. Dear Colleagues, Next week Prof. Xavier Alvarez from Univ. Autonoma in Barcelona is visiting us and will be at the Birck center on July 25-29. He is an expert in extended thermodynamics and transport (heat, sound). His recent research has focused on phonon hydrodynamics, quasi ballistic effects and the observation of 2nd sound. He will give a seminar (see below the abstract) on Tuesday July 26th from 1:00pm-2:00pm in BRK 1001. Please let me know if you would be interested to meet with Prof. Alvarez next week. Best regards, Ali Shakouri ************* TITLE: HYDRODYNAMIC PHENOMENA IN THERMAL TRANSPORT Xavier Alvarez Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona ABSTRACT: A large number of experimental observations incompatible with the classical Fourier description of thermal transport at the nanometer and in the picosecond scales has been reported in the last decade. Despite the theoretical efforts done in the topic, a model able to describe the gathered data at all length and time scales is still not available. Two different descriptions have been proposed. Phonon hydrodynamics has been used as a framework to model thermal transport in materials where momentum conservation in phonon-phonon collisions is important. For other situations, a kinetic description based on the propagation of independent phonons, in what is called quasiballistic description, has been developed. The fundamental difference between them is in the number of length or time scales required to describe the observations. While in the hydrodynamic approach, a single scale is enough, in the quasiballistic description, the full set of phonon scales is necessary. For graphene and other 2D materials, the hydrodynamic approach has been the traditional main stream, while the quasiballistic approach has been more used for classical bulk semiconductors. In the last years, some experiments and theoretical descriptions seems to be challenging this traditional splitting. On the one side, some predictions of the hydrodynamic regime for 2D materials like the second sound velocity have put on doubt the standard approach. On the other side, collective phonon behavior like the use of a single time scale to describe thermal decay in a silicon substrate or the observation of second sound in germanium seem to indicate that the hydrodynamic description could be used in these semiconductors. This could be an indication that a more unified framework could be proposed. The talk will cover some of the most recent evidences in the theoretical and experimental research on thermal transport and we will analyze them in the framework of the Kinetic/Collective model (KCM), developed to give a more generalized framework to describe thermal experiments.

ICDD database for XRD - Remote PC - can be used from any place!
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 08 Jul '22

08 Jul '22

Sent on behalf of Dmitry Zemlyanov Dear Birck Research Community, We would like to announce that with help of the EVPRP Instrument Program, the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) database, PDF-4+, was purchased. This database is a primary reference of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) data, which became known as the Powder Diffraction File (PDF). PDF is a collection of single-phase X-ray powder diffraction patterns in the form of tables of characteristic interplanar spacings and corresponding relative intensities along with other pertinent physical and crystallographic properties. As it was announced earlier, one license of ICDD database is installed on the public computer at BRK 1045, and any XRD-trained user can use the database free of charge. We have deployed the second license on another PC, which can be remotely accessed using Windows Remote Desktop. Please contact Dr. Dmitry Zemlyanov (dzemlian(a)purdue.edu<mailto:dzemlian@purdue.edu>) to get permission for Remote Desktop of this PC. The calendar to reserve the usage is here: https://purdue.ilabsolutions.com/schedules/501902#/ (it is free of charge but you still need to reserve). You also can find this reservation at 'BRK Metrology Core' -> 'Space Reservation (No Cost)' -> 'BRK 1045 Remote PC - ICDD PDF-4+ 2022' Please contact Dr. Dmitry Zemlyanov if you have any questions.

Update Tuesday Morning of Campus Chiller Issue
by Reger, Ronald K 14 Jun '22

14 Jun '22

Dear Birck Users, As of this morning the campus chilled water issue has been resolved and our building is receiving normal cooling water, so the Birck air conditioning and humidity are back to normal. The one exception is for the west lab wing....Air Handler #1 has a leak in the water pump so AH1 is down for repair. The pump seals are being rebuilt, but until the system is repaired and brought back online the humidity and temperature control in the west lab wing will fluctuate. Ron, 7:45 am Tuesday From: BNC-all <bnc-all-bounces(a)ecn.purdue.edu> On Behalf Of Reger, Ronald K Sent: Monday, June 13, 2022 3:29 PM To: bnc-all(a)ecn.purdue.edu Subject: [BNC-all] Early Warning of Campus Chiller Issue Dear Birck Users, Wade Power Plant has lost two of four chillers so at this point chilled water to Birck is compromised. Humidity control and equipment cooling water will be affected which could lead to future process issues and equipment cooling issues. The physical facilities organization is aware and they're monitoring the situation. Please be aware that if this condition is not corrected by tomorrow we will be forced to shut down air handling systems which will take equipment and processes offline. (In order of priority, air handlers to the atriums and offices will be shed first in order to maintain temperature and humidity control in the labs and cleanroom. If it progresses from there we will take the tour aisle down, keeping the cleanroom stable as long as possible.) Our building personnel will continue to monitor this situation and keep us informed.

BNCWiki will temporarily require on campus or VPN access for the next week
by Wirth, Justin C 03 Jun '22

03 Jun '22

Greetings BNC users, ITAP has been informed of a critical security vulnerability with Confluence, the platform used by BNCWiki<https://wiki.itap.purdue.edu/display/BNCWiki>. In response, ITAP is disabling Confluence external access until next Saturday (6/11) at 6 PM ET when a patch is planned to be installed. Until then, to access BNCWiki (or other Purdue Confluence spaces), you will need to be either on a Purdue campus network or connected to a Purdue VPN. More information on using a Purdue VPN can be found here: https://www.itap.purdue.edu/connections/vpn/. Using Cisco AnyConnect (from either a PC or mobile device) you can connect to VPN server name "webvpn2.purdue.edu" and login with your BoilerKey credentials. Additionally, Confluence will be temporarily unavailable today from 5:15 - 5:30 PM and next Saturday (6/11) at 6 PM when the patch is applied. Thanks, my apologies for any inconvenience this may cause, please let me know if you have any questions, Justin Justin C. Wirth, PhD Research Engineer - EBL Processes & Nanofab Process Consultation Birck Nanotechnology Center | Room 2287A 765.494.8203 | jcwirth(a)purdue.edu<mailto:jcwirth@purdue.edu> https://wiki.itap.purdue.edu/display/BNCWiki https://purdue.ilabsolutions.com<https://purdue.ilabsolutions.com/> Book time on my calendar<https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/BirckNanotechnologyCenter@purdue…>

Birck Sputtering Systems
by Reger, Ronald K 03 Jun '22

03 Jun '22

Message from Dave Lubelski and Dan Witter: All sputtering system users, Due to supply chain issues and lack of the ability to secure parts and repair items, we are changing our use structure on Monday June 6th to the following. All depositions needed for the immediate future will be performed by either Dan Witter or Dave Lubelski. Please let both Dan and Dave know the materials and thicknesses that you need sputtered, along when your sample will be ready for deposition and we will take care of the deposition for you. We will make the reservation and load/deposit and let you know when the samples are finished. Hopefully, this will be a short term change. This is necessary as we have run out of parts for repairs and new parts are 12-40 week lead times. Depositions will be performed Monday - Friday between the hours of 7:00 am and 5:00 pm. Thank you for your understanding, Dave and Dan
