Accurate tissue mechanical properties are essential for simulating medical devices that deform skin under suction, such as devices for the treatment of fat, skin wounds, and vascular skin conditions. While suction-based methods exist for estimating these properties, most rely on small ... Read More
A one-dimensional model of Excimer Laser-Annealing of amorphous silicon layers which are irradiated with a KrF excimer laser is described. For realisation, the application mode heat transfer in solids is used. The model predicts a melt threshold for the energy density of the laser of 88 ... Read More
Laser drilling of titanium and its alloys is widely used in aerospace industry, as it offers selective removal of material at high accuracy and speed. However, laser drilling often inherits defects such as large heat affected zone, micro cracks and recast layer. These defects depend upon ... Read More
Structural colors of photonic crystals demonstrate significant application value in optical sensing and anti-counterfeiting due to their high stability and environmental friendliness. However, current research still lacks systematic investigation into the structure-property relationship ... Read More
Synthetic jet actuators enhance flow control by generating pulsatile jets with zero net mass flux. There is a need to develop a computationally inexpensive model that can generate optimal geometric actuator designs of maximum jet performance. This work investigates the multi-physics ... Read More
Germanium-tin (Ge₁₋ₓSnₓ) microdisks are emerging as a promising platform for CMOS-compatible group-IV light sources due to their tunable direct bandgap and compatibility with silicon photonics. Their optical and electronic properties are critically influenced by tin concentration, strain ... Read More
Surface plasmons in metal rectangular gratings can form bands and band gaps in their dispersion relations, analogous to those in photonic band-gap crystals and electronic bands in semiconductors. Introducing a dielectric coating atop the metal redshifts the plasmonic band gap, enabling a ... Read More
Temperature measurement of nanoparticles (NPs) under heating is an important technique in order to achieve potential applications such as photothermal cancer therapy and nanofabrication. We implemented the method to estimate the local temperature of a laser-heated gold NP on glass ... Read More
Laser percussion drilling is widely used in the aerospace industry to produce cooling holes in jet engine components. This process is a thermal, contact-free process which involves firing a sequence of focused optical pulses onto a target material [1-4]. During each optical pulse, the ... Read More
Photothermal therapy through Gold Nanorods (GNRs) is a new approach for the minimally invasive treatment of cancerous tissue. In order to design the proper settings, it is important to study the thermal effect that are induced close to the nanoparticle (nanoscale model), in the close ... Read More
