The filamentation instability of counterpropagating symmetric beams of electrons is examined with 1D and 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, which are oriented orthogonally to the beam velocity vector. The beams are uniform, warm and…
The power electronic interface to a vibration energy harvester not only provides ac-dc conversion, but can also set the electrical damping to maximize output power under displacement-constrained operation. This is commonly exploited for…
Two ferromagnetic layers magnetically decoupled by a thick normal metal spacer layer can be, nevertheless, dynamically coupled via spin currents emitted by the spin-pump and absorbed through the spin-torque effects at the neighboring…

Piezoelectric materials play a vital role in energy harvesting, piezotronics and various self-powered sensing applications. The piezoelectric strength of 2D materials is limited by the carrier charge screening, leading to reduced open…
Quantum materials have exhibited attractive electro-mechanical responses, but their piezoelectric coefficients are far from satisfactory due to the lack of fundamental mechanisms to benefit from the quantum effects. We discovered the valley…
