Alternative approaches for enhancing plasmonic sensor performance by Soehartono, Alana Mauluidy

“…The numerical and experimental investigation of the magnetic-type LSP resonance is contrasted with the electric-type used in conventional LSP-based sensing. The role of geometry, especially height, on the resonance mechanisms is also studied, in which it is found that higher aspect ratio structures, realized by a cost-effective electrodeposition process, support waveguide-like modes which outperform typical planar resonances by up to 3X in the sensitivity and 10X in the figure of merit for the bulk and surface aspects. …”

Hybrid-duplex communications for multi-UAV networks : an outage probability analysis by Tan, Ernest Zheng Hui, Madhukumar, A. S., Sirigina, Rajendra Prasad, Krishna, Anoop Kumar

“…In this letter, the outage probability of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) network with hybrid-duplex (HBD) UAV communications is investigated in a stochastic geometry framework. We demonstrate that the HBD UAV communication system (HBD-UCS) can concurrently support more UAVs while achieving higher reliability than the half-duplex (HD) UCS (HD-UCS). …”

Topology-controlled photonic cavity based on the near-conservation of the valley degree of freedom by Li, Yandong, Yu, Yang, Liu, Fengyu, Zhang, Baile, Shvets, Gennady

“…The degree of energy localization at the resulting topology-controlled photonic cavity is determined by the valley-flipping time, which is in turn controlled by the geometry of the mirror. Intuitive analytic descriptions of the "leaky" and closed topology-controlled photonic cavities are presented, and two specific designs-one for the microwave and the other for the optical spectral ranges-are proposed.…”

Modelling and analysis of energy absorption capacity of 3D printed structure design (A) by Yen, Wei Shing

“…Meanwhile, under higher compression displacement, the vertical oriented model’s auxetic performance is restricted by its geometry. Results from impact loading shows that the horizontal oriented model has better energy absorption and dissipation capabilities compared to the vertical oriented model due to its deformation behaviour when impacted. …”
