Compression of greenhouse gases still dominates the market of refrigeration devices. Although well stablished and efficient, this technology is neither safe for the environment nor able to be scaled down to nanoscale. Solid-state cooling…
Disordered forms of carbon are an important class of materials for applications such as thermal management. However, a comprehensive theoretical understanding of the structural dependence of thermal transport and the underlying microscopic…
Boosting the sensitivity of solid-state gas sensors by incorporating nanostructured materials as the active sensing element can be complicated by interfacial effects. Interfaces at nanoparticles, grains, or contacts may result in non-linear…
Stochastic models of chemical reaction networks are an important tool to describe and analyze noise effects in cell biology. When chemical species and reaction rates in a reaction system have different orders of magnitude, the associated…
The possibility of materials that are governed by a fixed point related to small world networks is discussed. In particular, large-scale Monte Carlo simulations are performed on Ising ferromagnetic models on two different small-world…
New experiments were proposed recently to investigate the regime of cold atomic and molecular ion-atom collision processes in a special hybrid neutral-atom--ion trap under high vacuum conditions. The collisional cooling of laser pre-cooled…
A dynamical atomistic chain to simulate mechanical properties of a one-dimensional material with zero temperature may be modelled by the molecular dynamics (MD) model. Because the number of particles (atoms) is huge for a MD model, in…
We perform a suite of 3D radiation hydrodynamics simulations of photoevaporation of molecular gas clumps illuminated by external massive stars. We study the fate of solar-mass clumps and derive their lifetimes with varying the gas…
Fuels dispersed with engineered nanoparticle additives, or nanofuels, are desirable for the vastly different combustion properties such as combustion rate and ignition delay they exhibit compared to base fuels. The stability of such…
Light storage, the controlled and reversible mapping of photons onto long-lived states of matter [1], enables memory capability in optical quantum networks [2-6]. Prominent storage media are warm alkali gases due to their strong optical…
A simple and rapid method is proposed for assessing the reduction in the lifetime of steel walls of the reactor vessel under neutron irradiation. The method is based on modeling the number of radiation defects by the behavior of a general…
Metallic nanogranular films display a complex dynamical response to a constant bias, showing up as atypical resistive switching mechanism which could be used to create electrical components for neuromorphic applications. To model such a…
The melting curve and fluid equation of state of carbon dioxide have been determined under high pressure in a resistively-heated diamond anvil cell. The melting line was determined from room temperature up to $11.1\pm0.1$ GPa and $800\pm5$…
Highly energetic electron-hole pairs (hot carriers) formed from plasmon decay in metallic nanostructures promise sustainable pathways for energy-harvesting devices. However, efficient collection before thermalization remains an obstacle for…
This paper describes the use of a high-stability quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) to measure the mass of a gas absorbed on and in the metal electrode on the quartz oscillator, when the gas pressure is low and the gas can be considered as…
The network of interactions between hot gas, cool clouds, massive stars, and stellar remnants used in the chemodynamical modeling of the interstellar medium is investigated for the types of its solutions. In a physically consistent…
Here, we report a process of metallic sealing using small well-separated Ag nanorods; the process is at room temperature under a small mechanical pressure of 9.0 MPa, and also in ambient. The metallic seals have an air leak rate of 1.1 x…
In a variety of neutron lifetime experiments, in addition to $\beta-$decay, neutrons can be lost by other mechanisms including wall losses. Failure to account for these other loss mechanisms produces systematic measurement error and…
In this work we focus on the thermodynamics consistency of a new set of solutions emerging from a cosmology in which dark matter is able to decay into relativistic particles within the dark sector. It is important to stress that the…
We report the transmission over a wide frequency range (far infrared - visible) of pristine and hole-doped, free-standing carbon nanotube films at temperatures between 50 K and 300 K. Optical constants are estimated by Kramers-Kronig…
