dc and ac transport in few-layer black phosphorus
(American Institute of Physics (AIP Publishing), 2020)
The multilayer band structure of black phosphorus (BP) is highly anisotropic, and its bandgap is tunable by applying a perpendicular electric field Ez . Within a linear response theory, we study dc and ac transport in ...
Biomimetic Nanomembranes: An Overview
(MDPI, 2020)
Nanomembranes are the principal building block of basically all living organisms, and without them life as we know it would not be possible. Yet in spite of their ubiquity, for a long time their artificial counterparts ...
Temporal response of biochemical and biological sensors with bimodal surface adsorption from a finite sample
(Springer, 2020)
The importance of adsorption-based biochemical/biological sensors in biochemistry and biophysics is paramount. Their temporal response gives information about the presence of a biochemical/biological analyte, its concentration ...
Efficiency of phosphorus accumulation by plankton, periphyton developed on submerged artificial substrata and metaphyton: in-situ observation in two shallow ponds
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020)
Phosphorus overenrichment of shallow ponds prevailing in wetlands leads to their eutrophication causing the collapse of those vulnerable habitats. The potential of phosphorus accumulation by periphyton developed on artificial ...
Real-Time AFM and Impedance Corrosion Monitoring of Environmentally Friendly Ceria Films on AA7075
(The Electrochemical Society, 2020)
Cerium-based conversion coatings have emerged as promising green alternatives to the harmful chromium-based ones, but the mechanism of corrosive protection still remains a subject of academic and industrial research. This ...
A cloud computing model for achieving competitiveness of domestic enterprises
(Springer, 2020)
Amidst the globalization of markets and within the framework of the
fourth industrial revolution - Industry 4.0, domestic enterprises face challenges
when it comes to business and market performance. Domestic enterprises ...
Artificial intelligence-based optimization of a bimorph-segmented tapered piezoelectric mems energy harvester for multimode operation
(MDPI, 2021)
This paper presents a study on the design and multiobjective optimization of a bimorph-segmented linearly tapered piezoelectric harvester for low-frequency and multimode vibration energy harvesting. The procedure starts ...
Monolithically Integrated Diffused Silicon Two-Zone Heaters for Silicon-Pyrex Glass Microreactors for Production of Nanoparticles: Heat Exchange Aspects.
(MDPI, 2020)
We present the design, simulation, fabrication and characterization of monolithically
integrated high resistivity p-type boron-di used silicon two-zone heaters in a model high temperature
microreactor intended for ...
Improvement of d–d interactions in density functional tight binding for transition metal ions with a ligand field model: assessment of a DFTB3+ U model on nickel coordination compounds
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2020)
To improve the description of interactions among the localized d, f electrons in transition metals, we have introduced a ligand-field motivated contribution into the Density Functional Tight Binding (DFTB) model. Referred ...
An interlaboratory comparison of aerosol inorganic ion measurements by ion chromatography: implications for aerosol pH estimate
(Copernicus GmbH, 2020)
Water-soluble inorganic ions such as ammonium, nitrate and sulfate are major components of fine aerosols in the atmosphere and are widely used in the estimation of aerosol acidity. However, different experimental practices ...
