Understanding the Optical and Photophysical Properties of Organic and Hybrid Macromolecules and Polymers for Solar Cell Application
(2021)
Organic solar cell materials represent a better sustainable alternative relative to inorganic materials in terms of lower cost, ease of large-scale processing, better absorptivity, ease of tunability, and unique flexibility ...
Continuum-Scale Modeling of Rechargeable Batteries
(2020)
During the operation of a rechargeable battery, the electrochemical reactions occur at the interface between the electrolyte and the active material in the electrode. The electrochemical performance of such batteries is ...
Growth, Characterization and Assembly of Lead Chalcogenide Nanosemiconductors for Ionizing Radiation Sensors
(2022)
The demand for precise and efficient nuclear radiation detection has increased dramatically, particularly in numerous scientific disciplines, as well as homeland security and medical imaging applications. Modern methods ...
Fundamental and Applied Electrochemistry for Photonic Applications
(2020)
Photonic devices that selectively transmit or reflect light are highly desirable in a wide variety of applications, including energy harvesting, aesthetic decorations and optical displays. However, most of these high ...
Control of the Electron Energy Distribution Function (EEDF) in a Hall Thruster Plasma.
(2016)
Further improvements to Hall-effect thruster (HET) efficiency in the low voltage regime will help enable more extensive space missions. HET efficiency depends on its ability to ionize and accelerate neutral propellant, ...
Recirculating Planar Crossed-Field Amplifiers
(2019)
The Recirculating Planar Crossed-Field Amplifier (RPCFA) is an adaptation of the Recirculating Planar Magnetron (RPM) that has been the focus of research at the University of Michigan’s Plasma, Pulsed Power and Microwave ...
Characterizing Heliospheric and Interstellar Interactions Using Pickup Ion Measurements
(2022)
The Heliosphere, orbiting the galactic center of the Milky Way, is a plasma bubble carved out of the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) by the Sun's dynamic and magnetic influence. Its relative motion creates a steady inflow ...
Dynamics of the Jovian Magnetosphere: Combining Insights from Global MHD Simulations and In Situ Measurements From the Juno Spacecraft
(2021)
Unlike the terrestrial magnetosphere, which responds strongly to changes in the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field, Jupiter's magnetosphere depends largely on internal processes related to its strong planetary ...
Thermoelectric Transport in Disordered Materials
(2022)
Material disorder comes in two forms, dynamic energetic disorder and static energetic disorder, both of which can greatly influence charge and thermoelectric (TE) transport properties by altering the energy dependences of ...
Efficient Output-Based Adaptation Mechanics for High-Order Computational Fluid Dynamics Methods
(2018)
As numerical simulations are applied to more complex and large-scale problems, solution verification becomes increasingly important in ensuring accuracy of the computed results. In addition, although improvements in ...
