Solving PDEs with Spatial & Time Varying Coefficients: Dirac Wave Function Passes Through EM Wave

A. J. Kalinowski1
1Consultant

The Dirac equation is employed in particle physics and historically gave the first combined unification of quantum mechanics and relativity theory by introducing a four component wave function Ψn n=1…4. This wave function describes the behavior of fermion type particles. The effect of a ... Read More

Simulation of Drying Process During Fabrication of Lithium-Ion Battery Porous Electrode

S. R.[1], N. S. T.[1]
[1]CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute, India

Lithium ion battery electrodes are porous composite film made up of two or three different types of solid material. Typically using the fabrication of the electrode, the solid powders (active material, binder and in most cases a conductive active) are dispersed in a solvent like NMP and ... Read More
