The emergence of electromagnetic metamaterials has given rise to a variety of fascinating applications, including the perfect lens and the optical cloaking device. For a long time the study of the properties of metamaterials was limited to normal incidence only. However, it is extremely ... Read More
Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) [1] is an advanced space propulsion system being studied in University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It has been depicted in Figure 1. An experimental setup is already being used to gather dynamics of plasma with the help of ... Read More
It is possible to control the motion of magnetic beads using a combination of hydrodynamic and electromagnetic forces. In this work, we investigate the possibility to manipulate the motion of beads with different magnetic moments in a special microfluidic structure so as to separate ... Read More
Simulation of laser processes are more and more efficient. In some cases, as welding and additive manufacturing, the physical phenomena are complex, multi-physics and multi-phases, thus some assumptions have to be done. For Laser Powder Bed Fusion, a laser beam melts and vaporizes the ... Read More
The magnetron is one of the oldest and the most popular of the vacuum tubes. As they are very robust, low cost and highly efficient source of high-power microwaves, they have been a common choice for defence, medical, industrial and commercial applications. This work presents the ... Read More
Here we present a simulation for evaluation of novel obscurant candidates under high-energy laser (HEL) illumination. This approach incorporates thermal modeling into obscurant characterization, allowing for evaluation of the temperature increase of the candidate obscurants as well as ... Read More
The renewable energy sector faces challenges in production processes due to geo-economic, and environmental issues. This had led to an increased interest in the use of solar energy as an alternative to fossil fuel based energy sources. In the solar energy field, significant research ... Read More
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are coherent oscillations of electrons at a metal-dielectric interface coupled to electromagnetic fields [1]. SPPs offer highly confined fields resulting in larger field amplitude and enhanced light-matter interactions. Control and manipulation ... Read More
Aluminum production potlines operate under significant amperage in a range of 200 kA – 600 kA. High electrical DC currents induce strong magnetic fields. MHD stability, which is a result of electrical current and magnetic field interaction within aluminum reduction cell, is one of highly ... Read More
Raman spectroscopy is a commonly used tool in biodiagnostics and sensor technology. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering provides high signal enhancements especially at nanostructured metallic surfaces. In this paper the electromagnetic Raman enhancement from different metallic ... Read More
