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 ...
Future of Carbon Capture: Materials and Strategies.
(2016)
Emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere represent a long-term social and environmental challenge. Fossil fuels, which are the main source of these emissions, will likely continue to be used in energy production ...
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 ...
In Situ Polymerization via an Environmentally-borne Initiation Stimulus.
(2016)
The utilization of an environmentally-borne stimulus, atmospheric oxygen, has been convincingly demonstrated as a useful means for initiating in situ polymerization. As molecular oxygen is both ubiquitous and capable of ...
High Resolution Lithography-Compatible Micro-Electro-Discharge Machining of Bulk Metal Foils for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems.
(2009)
The application of batch mode micro-electro-discharge machining (µEDM) to the fabrication of micro-electro-mechanical systems has opened the door to lithographically compatible precision machining of all bulk metals. High ...
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 ...
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 ...
Development Of Microcompartmentalization Using Macromolecules And Liquid-Liquid Interfaces.
(2016)
Compartmentalization combined with regulated exchange and release of biomaterials is the key biological function. At the subcellular level, organelles sequester enzymes and substrates for storage while processing and ...
