The performance and reliability of interfacial regions in electronic solder joints are critical for the durability of lead-free solder systems. The intermetallic compound $\text{Cu}_{6}\text{Sn}_{5}$ , which forms at the interface between Sn-based solders and Cu substrates, exists in two crystal structures: the low-temperature monoclinic phase $(\eta^{\prime}-\text{Cu}_{6}\text{Sn}_{5})$ and the high-temperature hexagonal phase $(\eta-\text{Cu}_{6}\text{Sn}_{5})$ . Although the thermal behavior of these phases is well-documented, the effects of electric current on the stability and mechanical properties of $\eta^{\prime}-\text{Cu}_{6}\text{Sn}_{5}$ remain less understood. This study investigates the impact of electric current on the microstructural evolution of $\eta^{\prime}-\text{Cu}_{6}\text{Sn}_{5}$ through high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) following the synchrotron radiation-based X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD). Single-phase $\eta^{\prime}-\text{Cu}_{6}\text{Sn}_{5}$ samples were subjected to a current density of 1.5 x 10 3 A/cm 2 for 5 hours. Microstructural observations from HR-TEM, following SR-XRD, reveal significant insights into the behavior of monoclinic $\eta^{\prime}-\text{Cu}_{6}\text{Sn}_{5}$ under electric current stressing. These findings offer insights into the relationship between electric current and phase stability in interfacial compounds, which could enhance the reliability of solder joints in advanced electronic systems.

Interfaces often govern the thermal performance of nanoscale devices and nanostructured materials. As a result, accurate knowledge of thermal interface conductance is necessary to model the temperature response of nanoscale devices or nanostructured materials to heating. Here, we report the thermal boundary conductance between metals and insulators that are commonly used in spin-caloritronic experiments. We use time-domain thermoreflectance to measure the interface conductance between metals such as Au, Pt, Ta, Cu, and Al with garnet and oxide substrates, e.g., NiO, yttrium iron garnet (YIG), thulium iron garnet (TmIG), Cr2O3, and sapphire. We find that, at room temperature, the interface conductance in these types of material systems range from 50 to 300MWm−2K−1. We also measure the interface conductance between Pt and YIG at temperatures between 80 and 350 K. At room temperature, the interface conductance of Pt/YIG is 170MWm−2K−1 and the Kapitza length is ∼40 nm. A Kapitza length of 40 nm means that, in the presence of a steady-state heat current, the temperature drop at the Pt/YIG interface is equal to the temperature drop across a 40-nm-thick layer of YIG. At 80 K, the interface conductance of Pt/YIG is 60MWm−2K−1, corresponding to a Kapitza length of ∼300 nm.

We investigate picosecond spin currents across Au/iron-garnet interfaces in response to ultrafast laser heating of the electrons in the Au film. In the picoseconds after optical heating, interfacial spin currents occur due to an interfacial temperature difference between electrons in the metal and magnons in the insulator. We report measurements of this interfacial longitudinal spin Seebeck effect between Au and rare-earth iron-garnet insulators, i.e., RE3Fe5O12, where RE is Y, Eu, Tb, Tm. By systematically varying the rare-earth element, we modify the total magnetic moment of the iron garnet. We use time-domain thermoreflectance measurements to characterize the thermal response of the bilayer to ultrafast optical heating. We use time-resolved magneto-optic Kerr effect measurements of the Au layer to measure the time evolution of spin accumulation in the Au film. Replacing Y with other rare earths enhances the electron-magnon conductance Ge−m at the Au iron-garnet interface by as much as a factor of 3. The electron-magnon conductance does not follow the trend of either the total magnetization of the iron garnet or the magnetic moment of the rare earth.
