Liquid metals offer liquid-like fluidity and excellent conductivity at readily accessible temperatures[1].These futuristic metallic liquids have enabled kaleidoscopic applications,among which there are high performance electronic devices and thermal systems built with liquid metals[2-5].The fluidity(or conformability)and conductivity are arguably the most widely recognized and utilized traits of liquid metals,in particular for energybased applications.
In this study, we report the process variation effect (PVE) including the work function fluctuation (WKF) on the DC/AC characteristic fluctuation of stacked gate-all-around silicon complementary field-effect transisto...

Recent studies acknowledge that convectional ceramic particulate could be replaced by several agricultural by-products in the development of aluminium matrix composites because of its selected for their low cost and relative ubiquity. This study explores the development of aluminium matrix composite from AA6061 alloy reinforced with chitosan particulates at weight proportions (3, 6, 9, and 12 wt%). The study further characterizes the developed composites using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), hardness, tensile and thermal and electrical conductivity test techniques. Results indicated that increasing chitosan content up to 10 wt% enhanced the hardness performance, while tensile strength of the composites increased sporadically, as SEM images observed reinforcement links embedded in grain boundaries. However, the thermal and electrical conductivity diminished due to the addition of chitosan particulates to the alloy matrix. The overall study showed the great potential of chitosan polymer as reinforcement to aluminium alloy .
