A novel approach of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control method for thermoelectric generator (TEG) is reported in this paper. The maximum power point tracking is achieved by using impedance matching principle. Unlike the existing MPPT methods, the proposed implementation does not require any voltage and current…

Using the tellurium(IV) complex compounds as an example, we study the interrelation between the geometric structure and spectral luminescence properties. We find that, in the series of compounds of Te(IV), which are characterized by the island octahedral coordination of Te(IV) ions, the luminescence intensity depends…

Compared with traditional in-vitro cell culture materials, three-dimensional nanofibrous scaffolds provide a superior environment for promoting cell functions. Since nanofibrous scaffolds have nanometer pore sizes, cells are unable to penetrate on their own, so must be incorporated into the scaffold during fabrication…

A step-by-step consideration of charge transfer in the molecule-single-layer graphene-SiC substrate system is presented. At the first step, a simple model of the density of states of a single graphene monolayer adsorbed on silicon carbide (the graphene-SiC system) is suggested, which allows the calculation of the corr…

The focus of this work is the modeling and simulation of the initial “stable jet” phase seen during the electrospinning process. The basis of the modeling is the bead-spring approach first proposed by Reneker et al. [J. Appl. Phys. 87, p. 4531 (2000)], who used this methodology to predominantly simulate the bending in…

We review the composition dependence of the structural and magnetic properties of the Co-doped Ni–Mn–Ga Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloy around the Mn-rich composition Ni50Mn30Ga20. The presence of Co affects the critical temperatures and alters the exchange interactions of martensite and austenite to different extent…

The corrosion test was performed for ferritic/martensitic steel HCM12A with and without Fe-Al alloy coating in LBE at temperatures of 550 and 650°C under loading for an immersion time up to 500 h. After the corrosion test at 550°C for 500 h, both of the uncoated and Fe-Al-coated HCM12A showed a good corrosion resistan…
