Power performance of a model floating wind turbine subjected to cyclic pitch motion: A wind tunnel study

Fernando Porté Agel, Guiyue Duan, Daniele Gattari

Wind tunnel experiments were performed with a miniature floating wind turbine model to study the effects of cyclic pitch motion on its power performance. The cyclic pitch motion was prescribed by two key parameters: pitch frequency and amplitude. The power ...

Million-scale data integrated deep neural network for phonon properties of heuslers spanning the periodic table

Hong Zhang, Changpeng Lin

Existing machine learning potentials for predicting phonon properties of crystals are typically limited on a material-to-material basis, primarily due to the exponential scaling of model complexity with the number of atomic species. We address this bottlen ...

Plasmonic effects in the neutralization of slow ions at a metallic surface

Marnik Bercx

Secondary electron emission is an important process that plays a significant role in several plasma-related applications. As measuring the secondary electron yield experimentally is very challenging, quantitative modelling of this process to obtain reliabl ...

Unconventional Flat Chern Bands and 2e Charges in Skyrmionic Moire Superlattices

Oleg Yazyev, Yifei Guan

The interplay of topological characteristics in real space and reciprocal space can lead to the emergence of unconventional topological phases. In this Letter, we implement a novel mechanism for generating higher-Chern flat bands on the basis of twisted bi ...

The elliptical Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process

Sofia Charlotta Olhede

We introduce the elliptical Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process, which is a generalisation of the well-known univariate OU process to bivariate time series. This process maps out elliptical stochastic oscillations over time in the complex plane, which are obse ...

Constructing periodic orbits of high-dimensional chaotic systems by an adjoint-based variational method

Tobias Schneider, Omid Ashtari, Sajjad Azimi

Chaotic dynamics in systems ranging from low-dimensional nonlinear differential equations to high-dimensional spatiotemporal systems including fluid turbulence is supported by nonchaotic, exactly recurring time-periodic solutions of the governing equations ...

Postbuckling behavior and imperfection sensitivity of elastic-plastic periodic plate-lattice materials

Fani Derveni

Advances in additive manufacturing have enabled a new generation of materials with advantageous properties inherent to their architecture. Recently, architected materials with periodic arrangements of plates, called plate-lattice materials, have been devel ...

Spectral properties of extended systems from Koopmans-compliant functionals

Riccardo De Gennaro

Electronic-structure simulations have been impacting the study of materials properties thanks to the simplicity of density-functional theory, a method that gives access to the ground state of the system. Although very important, ground-state properties rep ...

Modeling the Ga/As binary system across temperatures and compositions from first principles

Michele Ceriotti, Giulio Imbalzano

Materials composed of elements from the third and fifth columns of the periodic table display a very rich behavior, with the phase diagram usually containing a metallic liquid phase and a polar semiconducting solid. As a consequence, it is very hard to ach ...

Velocity-driven frictional sliding: Coarsening and steady-state pulses

Jean-François Molinari, Thibault Didier Roch

Frictional sliding is an intrinsically complex phenomenon, emerging from the interplay between driving forces, elasto-frictional instabilities, interfacial nonlinearity and dissipation, material inertia and bulk geometry. We show that homogeneous rate-and- ...

Optical element

Niels Quack, Marcell Kristof Kiss, Gergely Huszka

The present invention concerns an optical grating comprising a body defining a first external surface and a second external surface. The first external surface defines a periodic structure comprising a plurality of elongated protrusions and a plurality of ...

A class of 2-local finite spectra which admit a v1/2-self-map

Philip Egger

At the prime 2, Behrens, Hill, Hopkins and Mahowald showed that M-2 (1, 4) admits a 32-periodic v(2)-self-map. More recently, in joint work with Mahowald, we showed that A(1) also admits a 32-periodic v(2)-self-map. This leads to the question of whether th ...

A water-based and metal-free dye solar cell exceeding 7% efficiency using a cationic poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) derivative

A green, efficient and stable solar cell based only on water and safe and cheap elements of the periodic table is proposed in this work, finally consolidating (also from a sustainability viewpoint) the concept of "artificial photosynthesis" studied for dec ...

Solution Processing and Self-Organization of PbS Quantum Dots Passivated with Formamidinium Lead Iodide (FAPbI(3))

Frank Nüesch

Solution-processed lead sulfide quantum dots (PbS QDs) are very attractive as NIR-active semiconductors for the fabrication of cost-efficient optoelectronic devices. To control the thin film carrier transport, as well as stability, surface passivation is o ...

Engineered acoustic mismatch for anchor loss control in contour mode resonators

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Annalisa De Pastina, Andrea Lozzi

Improving the quality factor (Q) of electromechanical resonators is of paramount importance for different applications, ranging from RF filtering to sensing. In this paper, we present a modified fabrication process flow for contour mode resonators to simul ...

The Periodic Table and Kinetics?

André Merbach, Lothar Helm

Mendeleev in his first publication ordered the chemical elements following an apparent periodicity of properties such as atomic volume and valence. The reactivity of the elements was only studied systematically many years later. To illustrate the systemati ...

To bend or not to bend, the dilemma of multiple bonds

Michele Pizzochero

Beyond the second row of the periodic table, the nature of the multiple bonds between the elements of the main groups remains yet elusive, and "non-classical" bonding schemes are often invoked for their description. Here, focusing on group 14, we have perf ...

Universal Oxide Shell Growth Enables in Situ Structural Studies of Perovskite Nanocrystals during the Anion Exchange Reaction

Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice, Seryio Saris, Michal Stanislaw Strach

The ability to tune thin oxide coatings by wet-chemistry is desirable for many applications, yet it remains a key synthetic challenge. In this work, we introduce a general colloidal atomic layer deposition (c-ALD) synthesis to grow an alumina shell with tu ...

Crystal field, ligand field, and interorbital effects in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides across the periodic table

Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exist in two polymorphs, referred to as 1T and 1H, depending on the coordination sphere of the transition metal atom. The broken octahedral and trigonal prismatic symmetries lead to different cry ...

Predicting the reflectivity and colour of metals from first principles

Gianluca Prandini

Gold and copper are the only two elemental metals that show a characteristic colour, due to the presence of a drop in the reflectivity curve inside the visible range. Reflectivities of all other metals are in general high and flat for all visible frequenci ...
