Artificial Plasmonics for VLSI Interconnects
Build the microchips of the future with this revolutionary new information transfer technology Advancements in high-performance computing have continually demanded for progresses in disruptive technological research and innovations. Moore's Law has pushed the Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology to pack MOS devices inside a chip at an exponential rate, thereby surpassing now eight billion transistors per cm2. This has concomitantly fueled the growth of multilayered on-chip interconnects comprising metallic and low dielectric materials. VLSI Interconnect Technology with Artificial Plasmonics introduces a new method for improving chip performance by harnessing the power of information transfer among chips at terahertz frequency. This revolutionary new electromagnetic wave engineering, called a spoof surface plasmon polariton, adapts the principles of VLSI and terahertz interconnect technology along with the artificial plasmonics to transfer huge quantities of data at vastly improved speeds. It constitutes a potentially decisive contribution to the pursuit of faster and more capacious VLSI chips. In VLSI Interconnect Technology with Artificial Plasmonics, readers will also find: * A cutting-edge new approach supported by pioneering research * Detailed discussion of essential components related to the development of THz interconnect technology, including theory, modeling, simulation, and validation * Roadmap to future technological development in the branch of artificial plasmonics VLSI Interconnect Technology with Artificial Plasmonics is ideal for engineers, researchers, and scientists working in electronics, electromagnetics, and optics.

Particulate Gravity Currents
Exploring the properties, behavior, and dynamics of particulate gravity currents Particulate gravity currents involve the movement of mixtures of particles and fluid under the influence of gravity. Examples in the natural environment include snow avalanches, pyroclastic flows, and seafloor turbidity currents. Understanding how particles move, mix, stratify, and settle has applications such as hazard mitigation and pollution management. Particulate Gravity Currents: Theory, Experiments, and Environmental Applications presents experimental, numerical, and field studies of particulate gravity currents, offering new insights into their properties, behavior, and dynamics. Volume highlights include: * Explorations of cohesive and non-cohesive sediment and transport * Applications of theoretical understanding to real-world subaerial and subaqueous processes * Studies using the latest techniques, including 3D numerical simulation * Broader relevance beyond the natural environment to other types of particulate and non-particulate gravity currents [288 Pages, Hardcover]

Thermal Explosion
Thermal Explosion A full review of thermal explosion theory featuring a new universal notation as a framework to develop and report research results Summarizing all significant and notable developments made in the field over nearly 100 years, Thermal Explosion provides a single, authoritative source of information on the subject that connects the theory with examples from practical applications. After opening with an introduction to prerequisite technical information, the book goes on to cover the mathematical theory behind thermal explosion, with detailed explanations of how thermal explosion can develop in different media and under different conditions and strategies and techniques that can be used to prevent thermal explosion. Readers will learn how to recognize thermal explosion hazards within technical designs and operation procedures, including for lithium ion batteries, biofuels, biomaterials, and microcombustors, predict the circumstances that may cause a thermal explosion in a particular design or process, and develop optimal mitigating strategies for these risks. Each chapter is supported by extensive example problems that introduce readers to a universal notation that can be used as a framework for developing and reporting their own research results. Topics covered in Thermal Explosion include: * Steady-state theory: the Semenov formulation and planar, cylindrical, and spherical symmetry cases in the Frank-Kamenetskii formulation * Generalized boundary conditions, dynamical regimes, thermal explosion in a region of arbitrary shape, and nonsteady thermal explosion theory * Thermal explosion in two-phase porous systems and spotted, diffusion, and conjugate thermal explosion * One- and two-variable thermal explosion models of fire flashover * Thermal explosion prevention through management of cooling flows and other passive methods, inertization, and cooling one- and two-phase media injections Thermal Explosion is an essential, up-to-date reference on the subject for engineering researchers and professionals, along with mathematicians and other scientists working in related fields. The book is also an excellent learning aid within an academic setting for graduate-level researchers or as supplemental reading in upper-level courses. [304 Pages, Hardcover]
