Non-contact actuated snap-through buckling of a pre-buckled bistable hard-magnetic elastica by Zhang, Yingchao, Ma, Yinji, Yu, Jing, Gao, Huajian

“…We identify an optimal position for the single M−interface and direction for the uniform actuation field for pre-buckled beams with two-ends fixed, which can reduce the required actuation field for snapping to nearly half in comparison with the symmetric cases. …”

Compact x-ray source based on burst-mode inverse Compton scattering at 100 kHz by Bessuille, J., Brown, P., Carbajo, S., Dolgashev, Valery A., Lin, H., Murari, K., Resta, G., Tantawi, S., Zapata, L. E., Graves, William S., Hong, Kyung-Han, Ihloff, Ernest E., Khaykovich, Boris, Nanni, Emilio Alessandro, Kaertner, Franz X., Moncton, David E.

“…At a photon energy of 12.4 keV, the predicted x-ray flux is 5×10[superscript 11]  photons/second in a 5% bandwidth and the brilliance is 2 × 10[superscript 12]  photons/(sec mm[superscript 2] mrad[superscript 2]  0.1%) in pulses with rms pulse length of 490 fs. The nominal electron beam parameters are 18 MeV kinetic energy, 10 microamp average current, 0.5 microsecond macropulse length, resulting in average electron beam power of 180 W. …”

Cold atoms laboratory in a hollow core fiber by Leong, Wui Seng

“…Cold $^{85}\text{Rb}$ atoms of temperature $\sim$\SI{6}{\micro\kelvin} are loaded into a Kagome type photonic crystal hollow-core fiber (HCF) through an optical trapping beam coupled into the HCF. I first demonstrate an inertia-sensitive Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer using two counter-propagating Raman beams. …”

Automated Engineering Design for Reusable Concrete Building Structures by Wongsittikan, Pitipat

“…The Pixelframe structural system [1] was proposed to facilitate the reusability of concrete components by implementing the existing external post-tensioning system in bridge structures and fiber reinforced system to design building beams and columns. This work presents an automated engineering design workflow for Pixelframe, including a engineering mechanics of the system that conforms to ACI 318- 19 [2] and fib Model Code 2010 [3], half-scale tests to verify the preliminary behavior of the system, and a scalable design algorithm for minimum embodied carbon designs. …”

Energy gain of wetted-foam implosions with auxiliary heating for inertial fusion studies by Paddock, RW, Li, TS, Kim, E, Lee, JJ, Martin, H, Ruskov, RT, Hughes, S, Rose, SJ, Murphy, CD, Scott, RHH, Bingham, R, Garbett, W, Elisseev, VV, Haines, BM, Zlystra, AB, Campbell, EM, Thomas, CA, Goffrey, T, Arber, TD, Aboushelbaya, R, Von der Leyen, MW, Wang, RHW, James, AA, Ouatu, I, Timmis, R, Howard, S, Atonga, E, Norreys, PA

“…Low convergence ratio implosions (where wetted-foam layers are used to limit capsule convergence, achieving improved robustness to instability growth) and auxiliary heating (where electron beams are used to provide collisionless heating of a hotspot) are two promising techniques that are being explored for inertial fusion energy applications. …”

Optical and optoelectronic properties of Si nanocrystals embedded in dielectric matrix by Ding, Liang

“…Based on the knowledge of band structure of nc-Si obtained in this work, the size-dependent PL band could be attributed to the indirect band-to-band transition of the nc-Si assisted by the Si-O vibration at the interface of nc-Si/SiO2. Visible and near infrared (IR) electroluminescence (EL) has been observed from a metal–oxide–semiconductor-like (MOS-like) structure with nc-Si embedded in the gate oxide. …”
