The aim of this thesis is to investigate the mechanical and thermal behaviour of HTS coated conductor cables for EUROfusion DEMO magnets. One of the issue in large HTS magnets is the safety against a quench. A quench is a sudden thermal runway in which the ...

The concept of a multi-source inverter (MSI) based on NPC topology was recently introduced for hybrid-electric powertrains to connect several dc sources to the traction load in a single conversion stage without magnetics. This work proposes a new modulatio ...

Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) are regarded as an attractive candidate in bio-applications such as imaging and molecule monitoring. However, the previous researches on biochemical sensing are mostly air-coupled application based on ...

We present TimeEvolver, a program for computing time evolution in a generic quantum system. It relies on well-known Krylov subspace techniques to tackle the problem of multiplying the exponential of a large sparse matrix iH, where His the Hamiltonian, with ...

Heart failure is a cardiovascular disease affecting between 1 and 2% of the population of developed countries alone - more than 10 million people - with this number bound to increase due to the ageing of the population. This condition starts to develop its ...

A capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) array with dual-mixed radii is designed to improve bandwidth and realize multi-modes operating for immersed ultrasonic applications. The two-size (TS) CMUT array is composed of two sub-arrays with d ...

A closed time-reversal (TR) cavity has been considered a purely theoretical concept whose experimental realization was assumed to be impossible. In this article, we demonstrate that it is, in fact, possible to realize a closed TR cavity using a network of ...

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have extremely advantageous characteristics such as lightness, compactness, flexibility, and large displacements. However, in order to operate, they can require voltages in the order of several thousands of volts. Thus ...

With the advent of intelligent sensor nodes in everyday life, low power aspects of system design become more and more important. Adaptive body biasing is a promising methodology to achieve dynamic adaptation of the tradeoff between performance and energy b ...

High-voltage gallium nitride Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) suffer from large off-state leakage current, which further degrades during operation at high temperatures and limits the device blocking capabilities. The key to achieving low off-state leakage is ...

The emergence of wide-band-gap (WBG) power transistors with low conduction losses and high-speed switching speeds has paved the way for more-than-ever efficient power electronics systems and huge energy saving potentials. Likewise, power density- the ratio ...

Wide-Band-Gap semiconductors have enabled considerable miniaturization of power devices, which requires, however, new thermal management solutions to handle the resulting high heat fluxes. Recently, embedded liquid cooling in GaN-on-Si devices was demonstr ...
