Ultrasound transducers are regularly used in medical clinics but their performance is known to deteriorate over time. Causes of this image quality degradation can include delamination between layers, physical breakage of components, short circuits and weakening crystals. Regular ... Read More
In order to exploit the piezotronic effect of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) crystal and to design an optimal high gauge strain sensors. One would require a deep understanding of the dynamics of charge carrier transport and accurately predict the levels of mechanical stress field and electrical charge ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® is used in various engineering fields and has recently been introduced as an efficient tool to solve certain geophysical problems. We used this software to study the mechanisms associated with the buckling formation at a plate-tectonic scale on Earth. Buckling is not ... Read More
Irradiance is fundamental in the energy production of photovoltaic (PV) modules and models can be developed using just irradiance data. However, module temperature has also significant impact on the power output. In locations with high ambient temperatures PV module performance can be ... Read More
Scanning field emission microscopy (SFEM) is a technique based on Topografiner [1] and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) [2] technologies. In this work, we do SFEM experiments to measure the electrons emitted by a sharp tungsten tip once they are back-scattered by a W(110) surface with ... Read More
In plate tectonics, the relative motion between plates at a plate boundary generates tectonic stress, and most earthquakes occur at these plate boundaries. However, only a small proportion of earthquakes occur in plate interiors, such as the 1811–12 New Madrid Earthquake (8.1 Mw) in the ... Read More
A key goal of nanoscale quantum optics is enhancing the weak interaction of light with matter, enabling applications such as spectroscopy on individual molecules, generating single photons for quantum computing, solar energy harvesting, passive radiative cooling, and nanoscale optical ... Read More
A suspension composite insulator has been designed for the HVDC energization of an overhead line supported by the L7 tower of Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE). It has been chosen to apply a pole to ground voltage of 216 kV for a triple symmetrical bipolar scheme. To verify the ... Read More
