To clarify the origin of the superior field emission characteristics of carbon coated emitters, we investigated the field enhancement at a triple junction and work functions as calculated by ab initio simulations. The electric field near the triple junction is one order of magnitude higher than at other places. Based…

A detailed balanced approach was used to model Intermediate Band (IB) Solar Cells (SCs) in which the IB is a band comprised of either Quantum-Dots (QDs) or Impurity Atoms (IAs). A model assuming identical QDs or IAs with no carrier losses was derived [1] and has a peak efficiency of 63.24% for a bandgap of 1.95 eV wit…

In order to prevent DC link voltage pump during braking, a paralleled release circuit composed of chopper and resistor is often employed. As a result of energy waste on the resistor, the efficiency of the motor drive system is low in the case of frequent braking. To improve the efficiency, an energy-saving scheme of m…

As part of our ongoing search to identify “endogenous anti-Alzheimer's molecules” within the human brain we have focussed on indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase [IDO] and tryptophan [trp]. Although the essential amino acid trp can be metabolised via different pathways, a major route is the kynurenine pathway; IDO is the first…

Smart behavior of cement based composites containing carbon nanotubes was studied under compression. The results show that the conductivity of the composites is related to the pressure level. For monotonic loading, the electrical resistance decreases correspondingly with increasing stress. For cycling loading, the ele…

Unidirectional invisibility in parity-time-symmetric systems has been so far predicted in one-dimensional (1D) structures, i.e., for planar slabs that are reflectionless when excited in one direction, while have strong reflections from the other direction. Here we generalize this concept to three-dimensional (3D) syst…
