QED induced radiation

Claims based on classical physics that Joule heat in graphene monolayer Field-effect transistors produces temperatures in excess of 1000 K are refuted by quantum mechanics.

Only blackbody radiation heat carriers moving at the speed of light – not phonons and electrons - are consistent with the Fourier law that implicitly requires thermal disturbances to travel at infinite velocity

Spin-valve storage of data in magnetic heads by the change in resistance from the alignment of electron spins is superseded by the dramatic superconductivity from charge carriers created by the conservation of Joule heat by QED

Current-induced switching in spin-valves by transfer of electron spin angular momentum is superseded by dramatic changes in photoconductivity by the photoelectric effect brought about by the QED induced conversion of Joule heat to EUV radiation

Molecular Dynamics simulations of heat transfer based in Statistical Mechanics that assume the atoms in nanostructures have heat capacity are invalidated by Quantum Corrections that require the heat capacity to vanish at the nanoscale

Quantum mechanics by requiring the heat capacity of the atom to vanish at the nanoscale precludes verification of the Wiedemann-Franz law in nanowires by Fourier derivations of thermal conductivity

Molecular dynamics simulations show the stiffening of nanowires in tensile tests is caused by hydrostatic tension produced by the repulsion of atoms from charges created by the QED induced photoelectric effect

The stiffening of nanowires is a quantum mechanical effect creating photons that by the photoelectric effect charge the wire, the charge repulsion producing an internal pressure that enhances the Young’s modulus measured in the tensile test

The unphysical explanations of heat transfer at the nanoscale by classical physics is avoided by quantum mechanics

At Nano 2012 held at the Birmingham ICC, heat transfer in nanoelectronics by quantum mechanics was contrasted with classical physics in discussions of memristors, the Ovshinsky Effect, 1/f noise, the Landauer limit, and heat dissipation in circuits
