Nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles in a base heat-transfer liquid. They have been widely investigated to boost heat transfer since they were proposed in the 1990's. We present a statistical correlation analysis of experimentally…
The present work focuses on the investigation of the thermal stability and structural integrity of amorphous alumina coatings intended for use as protective coatings on cladding tubes in Generation IV nuclear reactors, specifically in the…
An innovative way of producing large-scale unalloyed tantalum parts, based on the Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing process, has been developed in this study. Two different unalloyed tantalum wires have been used to deposit 200-mm-long…
Experiments have shown that pitting corrosion can develop in aluminum surfaces at potentials $> -0.5$ V relative to the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). Until recently, the onset of pitting corrosion in aluminum has not been rigorously…
The conductivity of organic semiconductors is measured {\it in-situ} and continuously with a bottom contact configuration, as a function of film thickness at various gate voltages. The depletion layer thickness can be directly determined as…
We propose a high thermal conductivity infrared (IR) filter using alumina for use in millimeter wave detection systems. We constructed a prototype two-layer anti-reflection (AR) coated alumina filter with a diameter of 100mm and a thickness…
The recent emergence of multi-species multi-phase materials provides intriguing opportunities to maximize electrochemical performance in various electrochemical devices. This work summarizes the current understanding of the coupled…
Graphene is a very promising material for nanoelectronics applications due to its unique and remarkable electronic and thermal properties. However, when deposited on metallic electrodes the overall thermal conductivity is significantly…
The existing solid electrolytes for lithium ion batteries suffer from low total ionic conductivity, which restricts its usefulness for the lithium-ion battery technology. Among them, the NASICON-based materials, such as…
We have investigated the electrical conductivity of lambda-DNA using DNA covalently bonded to Au electrodes. Thiol-modified dTTP was incorporated into the `sticky' ends of bacteriophage lambda-DNA using DNA polymerase. Two-probe…
We have studied the metallic behaviour in low density GaAs hole systems, and Si electron systems, close to the apparent two-dimensional metal-insulator transition. Two observations suggest a semi-classical origin for the metallic-like…
We consider low-temperature behavior of weakly interacting electrons in disordered conductors in the regime when all single-particle eigenstates are localized by the quenched disorder. We prove that in the absence of coupling of the…
In this paper, we report on the use of tantalum and iridium as adhesion layers for platinum electrodes used in high temperature SAW devices based on langasite substrates (LGS). Unlike iridium, tantalum exhibits a great adhesive strength,…
We investigate the interference correction to the conductivity of a medium consisting of metallic grains connected by tunnel junctions. Tunneling conductance between the grains, $e^2g_{\rm T}/\pi\hbar$, is assumed to be large, $g_{\rm T}\gg…
The influence of electronic structure evolution upon pressure on the temperature dependencies of electrical resistivity of pure Np, Pu, Am, and Cm metals have been investigated within coherent potential approximation (CPA) for many-bands…
A study of damages caused by gallium focused ion beam (FIB) into III-V compounds is presented. Potential damages caused by local heating, ion implantation, and selective sputtering are presented. Preliminary analysis shows that local…

We have studied the electrical conductivity of nanoring-based, transparent conductive films, these being promising elements for flexible electronic devices. Both the wire resistance and the junction resistance were taken into account. We…
Au and Ag are known to be metallic and none of them have shown independently superconductivity. Here we show superconductivity in Ag implanted Au thin films. Ag implanted Au films of different thicknesses have been studied using four probe…
