Abstract Sputter‐deposited Al/CuO multilayers represent the state‐of‐the‐art of energetic
nanomaterials for tunable ignition and actuation because their theoretical energy densities …

In the last two decades, major progresses have been made in develo** highly-exothermic
reactive mixtures. Mixtures of metallic and oxide powders, so-called nanothermites have …

This work presents a triggerable ultimate security device (USD) capable of physically
destroying a memory chip that contains classified data within a few milliseconds upon the …

Reactive multilayer films (RMFs) can be integrated into semiconducting electronic structures
with the use of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology and represent potential …

Abstract The complex Al/CuO self-propagating reaction involving multi-phase and multi-
species dynamics was studied in order to investigate the very high flame temperature …

This article provides a computational analysis of the reaction of fully-dense layered
aluminum and copper oxide systems. After the detailed presentation of the 2D nonstationary …

The ignition of the Al/CuO multilayered material is studied experimentally to explore the
effects of the heating surface area, layering, and film thickness on the ignition characteristics …

Sputter-deposited Al/CuO multilayers exhibit fast combustion reactions in which an
exothermic chemical reaction wave—controlled by the migration of oxygen atoms from the …

In situ deposition of a thin (∼ 5 nm) layer of copper between Al and CuO layers is shown to
increase the overall nanolaminate material reactivity. A combination of transmission electron …
