We have studied the origin of switching (telegraph) noise at low temperature in lateral quantum structures defined electrostatically in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures by surface gates. The noise was measured by monitoring the conductance…
Using large scale molecular dynamics simulations, we study the thermal conductivity of bare and surface passivated silicon nanowires (SiNWs). For the cross-sectional widths $w \le 2$ nm, SiNWs become unstable because of the surface…
This study numerically investigates the use of porous media as a passive strategy for mitigating cavitation on a NACA 66 (MOD) hydrofoil subjected to unsteady two-phase flow.
The dynamics of an argon plasma in the gap of a thermionic diode is investigated using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The time-averaged diode current, as a function of the relative electrical potential between the electrodes, is…
We briefly review the effects of selective solvation of ions in aqueous mixtures, where the ion densities and the composition fluctuations are strongly coupled. We then examine the surface tension \gamma of a liquid-liquid interface in the…
Nonneutral plasmas can be trapped for long times by means of combined electric and magnetic fields. Adiabatic cooling is achieved by slowly decreasing the trapping frequency and letting the plasma occupy a larger volume. We develop a fully…
Using combined low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), we demonstrate hydrogen passivation of individual, selected dangling bonds (DBs) on a hydrogen-passivated Si(100)-2$\times$1 surface…
We have fabricated a device which includes two lateral p-n junctions on an n-type GaAs/Al$_{0.33}$Ga$_{0.67}$As heterostructure. A section of the n-type material has been converted to p-type by removing dopants and applying a voltage to a…

Cubic gauche polynitrogen (cg-N) is an attractive high-energy density material. However, high-pressure synthesized cg-N will decompose at low-pressure and cannot exist at ambient conditions. Here, the stabilities of cg-N surfaces with and…
The ionic-liquid-gating technique can be applied to the search for novel physical phenomena at low temperatures because of its wide controllability of the charge carrier density. Ionic-liquid gated field-effect transistors are often fragile…
The unique optoelectronic properties of black phosphorus (BP) have triggered great interest in its applications in areas not fulfilled by other layered materials (LMs). However, its poor stability (fast degradation, i.e. <<1 h for…
The heat transport in heavy-doped n-GaAs has been investigated at temperatures T=300 K and 77 K using the irradiation of the metal-semiconductor contact by modulated CO_{2}-laser radiation. It is shown this approach giving an opportunity to…
In this work we present some results of the treatment of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces using pulsed dielectric barrier discharge plasmas. The results of plasma treatment using different gases and mixtures, argon, argon plus water…
To optimize the adhesion of layers presenting strong barrier properties on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) surfaces, we investigated the influence of argon and argon-oxygen atmospheric pressure post-discharges. This study was performed…
This work evaluates the viability of polyimide and parylene-C for passivation of lithium-drifted silicon (Si(Li)) detectors. The passivated Si(Li) detectors will form the particle tracker and X-ray detector of the General Antiparticle…

Atmospheric-pressure non-thermal plasmas are promising platforms for advanced oxidation in water treatment, yet quantitative coupling between reactive species delivery, solution chemistry, and molecular fragmentation remains unclear. We…
We study laser cooling of atomic gases by collisional redistribution, a technique applicable to ultradense atomic ensembles at a pressure of a few hundred bar. Frequent collisions of an optically active atom with a buffer gas shift atoms…
Propane steam reforming using a sliding discharge reactor was investigated under atmospheric pressure and low temperature (420 K). Non-thermal plasma steam reforming proceeded efficiently and hydrogen was formed as a main product (H2…
