Models of Electrode and Electrolyte Behavior at the Continuum Scale
(2018)
When a reaction occurs at the surface of a metal electrode, as in metal-anode batteries or corrosion, it is often accompanied by a change in the morphology of the interface between that electrode and its surrounding ...
Relaxations in Complex Polymer Systems
(2018)
Many applications that employ polymeric materials rely on mixtures (polymer/polymer, polymer/nanoparticle, polymer/filler). A key challenge of using these materials is understanding interrelations between the physical ...
Morphological Design of Nanoscale Polymer Systems: Influence of Film Fabrication, Post-Processing Conditions, and Interfaces on Properties
(2018)
Polymer thin films provide unique challenges and opportunities with properties that can be tuned by modifying the overall structure, or morphology. To realize improvement and implementation of polymer thin films in advanced ...
Controlling Ionic Transport in RRAM for Memory and Neuromorphic Computing Applications
(2018)
Resistive random-access memory, based on a simple two-terminal device structure, has attracted tremendous interest recently for applications ranging from non-volatile data storage to neuromorphic computing. Resistive ...
Multiscale Investigation of the Nonlinear Rheology of Wormlike Micelles
(2018)
Wormlike micelles (WLMs) are formed by reversible self-assembly of amphiphilic (e.g. surfactant) molecules usually with the aid of salt which acts to screen the electrostatic repulsion between the micelles to achieve giant ...
Selective Wettability Membranes and Surfaces for the Separation of Oil-Water Mixtures, Extractions, and Fouling Prevention
(2018)
The separation of miscible and immiscible liquid mixtures is one of the most widely utilized unit operations in the world. The energy-efficient separation of immiscible oil-water mixtures is critical for a wide variety ...
Probing Heat Transport and Energy Conversion at the Atomic and Single Molecule Scale
(2018)
The study of heat transport and energy conversion constitutes an important subject in modern physics and engineering research. The widely-applied Fourier’s and Planck’s laws have proven to be very useful to describe heat ...
Exciton and Charge Dynamics at Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Semiconductor Heterojunctions
(2018)
The advancements in our fundamental understanding of light-matter interaction in the past century are foundational to our technology-enabled modern lifestyle. While the physics and technology of inorganic semiconductors ...
Surface Dimer Engineering and Properties of GaAs(N)(Bi) Alloys
(2018)
Due to the significant bandgap narrowing induced by dilute fractions of N and Bi in III-V semiconductors, emerging dilute nitride-bismide semiconductor alloys are of significant interest for long-wavelength applications ...
