Cavitation bubbles are a topic of long-standing interest owing to the powerful phenomena associated with their collapse. Their unique ability to focus energy typically causes damage in hydraulic machinery (turbines, pumps, propellers, ...) but, if managed ...
Spacecraft employ composite materials as Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) to survive entering a planetary atmosphere at hypersonic speeds. Under intense convective and radiative heating from the surrounding shock layer, these composites decompose and erode ...
High-stress Si3N4 nanoresonators have become an attractive choice for electro- and optomechanical devices. Membrane resonators can achieve quality factor (Q)frequency (f) products exceeding 10(13) Hz, enabling (in principle) quantum coherent operation at r ...
We consider a narrow magneto-dipole transition in the Tm-169 atom at the wavelength of 1.14 mu m as a candidate for a two-dimensional-optical lattice clock. Calculating dynamic polarizabilities of the two clock levels [Xe]4f(13)6s(2)(J = 7/2) and [Xe]4f(13 ...
Controlling the phase of an electromagnetic field using plasmonic nanostructures provides a versatile way to manipulate light at the nanoscale. Broadband phase modulation has been demonstrated using inhomogeneous metasurfaces with different geometries; how ...
Near-perfect absorption across the entire VIS based on metallic nano-composite materials was realized experimentally by Hedayati et.al. in 2011 and optimized based on simulations by Etrich et.al. in 2014. However, both works did not reveal the mechanisms t ...
This study uses novel biometric figure rating scales (FRS) spanning body mass index (BMI) 13.8 to 32.2kg/m(2) and BMI 18 to 42kg/m(2). The aims of the study were (i) to compare FRS body weight dissatisfaction and perceptual distortion of women with anorexi ...
Various applications require ultra-low current sensing. Some of these applications are related to ionizing radiation detection. Radiation monitoring is important in particle physics experiments, nuclear facilities, hadron therapy institutes and hospitals. ...
We employ laser interference lithography as a reliable and low-cost fabrication method to create nanowire and nanosquare arrays in photopolymers for manufacturing plasmonic perfect absorber sensors over homogeneous areas as large as 5.7 cm(2). Subsequently ...
With the development of generalized connectivity and the increased use of Body Area Networks, wearable antennas have become ubiquitous in the last decade. Their design presents a challenge, as they per definition are located at the interface between free s ...
