Using direct atomic simulations, the vibration scattering time scales are characterized, and then the nature and the quantitative weight of thermal excitations are investigated in an example system Li2S from its amorphous solid state to its…
We investigate the radiative heat transfer and spatial distributions of stationary temperatures in periodic many-body systems composed of alternating slabs of two different materials. We show that temperature distributions exhibit an…
Active memristor elements, also called neuristors, are self-oscillating devices that are very good approximations to biological neuronal functionality and are crucial to the development of low-power neuromorphic hardware. Materials that…
We report on the observation of stable electrical oscillation in Pt/VO2 bilayer strips, in which the Pt overlayer serves the dual purposes of heating up the VO2 and weakening the electric field in the VO2 layer. Systematic measurements in…
We explore a prototype of an oscillatory neural network (ONN) based on vanadium dioxide switching devices. The model system under study represents two oscillators based on thermally coupled VO2 switches. Numerical simulation shows that the…
We derive explicitly the thermal state of the two coupled harmonic oscillator system when the spring and coupling constants are arbitrarily time-dependent. In particular, we focus on the case of sudden change of frequencies. In this case we…
Technological progress in electronics usually requires their use in increasingly aggressive environments, such as rapid thermal cycling and high power density. Thermal diodes appear as excellent candidates to thermally protect critical…
The ultrafast photoinduced insulator-metal transition in VO2 is studied at different temperatures and excitation fluences using multi-THz probe pulses. The spectrally resolved mid-infrared response allows us to trace separately the dynamics…
The investigation of temperature dependence of damping and period of vibrations of HTSC superconductive cylinder of Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system suspended by a thin elastic thread and performing axial-torsional vibrations in a magnetic field at…
We study the flow of energy between a harmonic oscillator (HO) and an external environment consisting of N two-degrees of freedom non-linear oscillators, ranging from integrable to chaotic according to a control parameter. The coupling…
Self-heating effects of picosecond optoelectronic switches based on vertical high-voltage structures with p-n-junctions (VPSS) operating in a high-frequency mode were theoretically studied for the first time. It is shown that strong…
PrMnO$_3$ (PMO) based RRAM shows selector-less behavior due to high-non-linearity. Recently, the non-linearity, along with volatile hysteresis, is demonstrated and utilized as a compact oscillator to enable highly scaled oscillatory…
We study the effects of temperature on the band structure of the Bi$_2$Se$_3$ family of topological insulators using first-principles methods. Increasing temperature drives these materials towards the normal state, with similar…
As a first step towards the understanding of the thermodynamical properties of quasiperiodic structures, we have performed both analytical and numerical calculations associated with succesive hierarchical approximations to multiscale…
VO2 is well known for its dual phase transitions; electrical as well as structural, at a single temperature of 340K. The low temperature structural phases of VO2 are different from its high temperature counterpart by means of structural…
Synchrotron X-ray total scattering studies of structural changes in rutile VO2 at the metal-insulator transition temperature of 340 K reveal that monoclinic and tetragonal phases of VO2 coexist in equilibrium, as expected for a first-order…
We present a computational study of isochoric heating in multi-layered targets at ultra-high intensity laser irradiation (approx. 10**20 W/cm**2). Previous studies have shown enhanced ion heating at interfaces, but at the cost of large…
We show that the rate of switching between the vibrational states of a modulated nonlinear oscillator is characterized by a quantum critical temperature $T_c\propto\hbar^2$. The rate is independent of $T$ for $T<T_c$. Above $T_c$ there…
Despite recent experiments exhibiting an impressive enhancement in radiative heat flux between parallel planar silica surfaces with gap sizes of about 10 nm, the exploration of sub-nanometric gap distances remains unexplored. In this work,…
The Insulator-Metal-Transition adjoined by a structural transition of VO2 is induced above room temperature (340 K) by heating or self-heating. A steep resistance-jump of up to five orders of magnitude occurs at this transition in high…
