Light-matter interactions in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides by Zhao, Jiaxin

“…By coherently superimposing excitons and cavity photons, the exciton-polaritons based on monolayer TMDs are stable at room temperature with considerable promise towards optoelectronic and valleytronic devices. In this thesis, I mainly focus on investigations on light-matter interactions in monolayer TMDs and microcavities. …”

Spray cooling and condensation heat transfer in a liquid cooled server system by Liu, Pengfei

“…It is found that the spray cooling performance is mainly affected by the spray nozzle flow rate. The condenser fan power and condenser cooling water flow rate strongly affect the vapour recovery speed and are therefore critical parameters for system pressure control. …”
