This work reports on the synthesis and characterization of a new type of electrospun magnetic nanofibers (MNFs), and their application for degradation of organic pollutants using remote magnetic inductive heating. We describe a simple…
Due to the shorter channel length allowing faster ion/charge movement, nanoscale molecular thin films can be attractive electronic components for next-generation high-performing energy storage devices. However, controlling chemical…
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has established itself as a promising tool in optical sensing technology. Efforts have been made to improve practicalities of the technology with regards to costs of production, stability,…
A new spin photonic topological insulator model with a 30-degree rhombic unit cell is presented and analyzed. Topological band gaps and the robustness against the defects are shown. The edge modes are studied via full-wave simulation of a…
Steering torque is a very important quantity for the driver feeling. In fact, it gives the driver an idea of the road adherence condition during driving. Several models have been developed to simulate shear forces at the contact patch, most…
Superconducting stacks and bulks can act as very strong magnets (more than 17 T), but they lose their magnetization in the presence of alternating (or ripple) transverse magnetic fields, due to the dynamic magneto-resistance. This…
Continued dimensional scaling of semiconductor devices has driven information technology into vastly diverse applications. As the size of devices approaches fundamental limits, metrology techniques with nanometre resolution and…
Line excitations in topological phases are a subject of particular interest because their mutual linking structures encode robust topological information of matter. It has been recently shown that the linking and winding of complex…
Current portable memory device relies heavily on flash memory technology for its implementation. New generation of non-volatile memory is likely to replace floating gates, charge-trapping memory currently still suffering from inadequate…
Antiferromagnetic (AF) spintronics is merit on ultra-high operator speed and stability in the presence of magnetic field. To fully use the merit, the device should be pure rather than hybrid with ferromagnet or ferrimagnet. For the…
An effect we have termed the acousto-thermoelectric effect is theorized for temperature gradients driven by acoustic modulation. The effect produces a dynamic and spatially varying voltage. Adiabatic acoustic fluctuations in a solid cause…
Diffusive memristors continue to receive tremendous interest due to their ability to emulate biological neurons and thus aid the development of bio-inspired computation technology. A major issue with the diffusive memristor is the inability…
Flash Joule heating (FJH) is a far-from-equilibrium (FFE) processing method for converting low-value carbon-based materials to flash graphene (FG). Despite its promise in scalability and performance, attempts to explore the reaction…
A detailed knowledge of the dielectric properties of food materials is vital to any electromagnetic-based treatments, ranging from reheating meals in a domestic microwave oven through to sterilization processes. The uniformity and rate of…
In most systems, thermal diffusion is intrinsically slow with respect to mechanical relaxation. We devise here a generic approach to accelerate the relaxation of the temperature field of a 1D object, in order to beat the mechanical time…
Charge density wave (CDW) resulted from a small distortion in the lattice is able to create new orders beyond the original lattice. In 2H-NbSe2, one of the layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), the 3x3 charge order appears in…
Implementing microelectromechanical system (MEMS) resonators calls for detailed microscopic understanding of the devices, such as energy dissipation channels, spurious modes, and imperfections from microfabrication. Here, we report the…
