Controlling Electromagnetic Surface Waves with Scalar and Tensor Impedance Surfaces.
(2013)
The propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves on various isotropic (scalar) impedance surfaces have been studied for some time, in order to control surface waves and leaky-wave radiation. One and two dimensional ...
HgCdTe Auger-Suppressed Infrared Detectors Under Non-Equilibrium Operation.
(2009)
A nearly universal goal for infrared photon detection systems is to increase their operating temperature without sacrificing performance. The limiting factor for cooling requirements is the dark current in the detector ...
Structural Characterization and Impedance Spectroscopy of Substituted, Fused-Ring Organic Semiconductors.
(2011)
Organic materials present a number of advantages over silicon that make them ideal candidates for modest performance devices like active matrix backplanes and RFID tags. The work detailed here describes both structural ...
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 ...
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 ...
Study of Thermal and Magnetic Properties in Strongly Correlated Materials
(2020)
The search for quantum materials is always an exciting field in condensed matter physics. The strongly correlated materials are one of the most intensively studied systems for decades. Due to the complex interplay between ...
Multidisciplinary Study of Soft Shape Morphing Systems
(2021)
Nature abounds with examples of shape morphing systems where an entity either gradually grows into a complex 3-D shape pattern or rapidly morphs into a new configuration. Inspired by the shape shifting capabilities of ...
