Abstract: A battery assembly, a battery pack and a vehicle are provided. The battery assembly includes: multiple cells; a connecting member, where the cells is electrically connected to each other through the connecting member; and a thermally conductive member, where the cell has a housing, the thermally conductive member is provided between the connecting member and the housing, and the thermally conductive member is thermally conductively connected to the connecting member and the housing.

Abstract: A method for is disclosed for fabricating diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) nanowires by providing a catalyst-coated substrate and subjecting at least a portion of the substrate to a semiconductor, and dopant via chloride-based vapor transport to synthesize the nanowires. Using this novel chloride-based chemical vapor transport process, single crystalline diluted magnetic semiconductor nanowires Ga1-xMnxN (x=0.07) were synthesized. The nanowires, which have diameters of ˜10 nm to 100 nm and lengths of up to tens of micrometers, show ferromagnetism with Curie temperature above room temperature, and magnetoresistance up to 250 Kelvin.
