Compositional dependence of spintronic properties in Pt/GdCo films by Suzuki, Daniel H, Lee, Byung Hun, Beach, Geoffrey SD

“…We conduct two types of domain wall motion experiments on patterned racetracks to determine the effective spin Hall angle and current-driven domain wall mobility. We find a 5× increase in effective spin Hall angle with increasing Gd concentration, suggesting an improvement in spin transfer efficiency in rare earth materials. …”

Low-cost machine learning prediction of excited state properties of iridium-centered phosphors by Terrones, Gianmarco G, Duan, Chenru, Nandy, Aditya, Kulik, Heather J

“…We instead leverage low-cost machine learning (ML) models and experimental data for 1380 iridium complexes to perform these prediction tasks. We find the best-performing and most transferable models to be those trained on electronic structure features from low-cost density functional tight binding calculations. …”

Lineage-level within-species dynamics in the human facial skin microbiome by Baker, Jacob S.

“…In Chapter 3, I use these data to observe natural transmission events and assembly dynamics of the facial skin microbiome. I find that the gain and loss of individual C. acnes and S. epidermidis lineages underlies their apparent stability at the species level, and that these dynamics also change throughout the human lifespan. …”

Rapid Simulation of Electro-Chemo-Mechanical Deformation of Li-ion Batteries Based On Porous Electrode Theory by Ipers, Gerrit, Jiao, Junning, Pathak, Shakul, Fang, Ruqing, Berliner, Marc D, Li, Wei, Li, Weihan, Braatz, Richard D, Bazant, Martin Z, Zhu, Juner

“…The computational model is parameterized using values gathered from literature, tested under varying conditions, briefly compared to real-world observations, and qualitatively analyzed to find parameter-output relations.…”

Proton-coupled electron transfer at SOFC electrodes by Williams, Nicholas J, Warburton, Robert E, Seymour, Ieuan D, Cohen, Alexander E, Bazant, Martin Z, Skinner, Stephen J

“…This theory was used to study the current–voltage characteristics of the Ni/gadolinium-doped ceria electrode in H2/H2O(g), where we find excellent validation of this novel model. These results yield the first reported quantification of the solvent reorganization energy for an SOFC material and suggest that the three-phase boundary mechanism is the dominant pathway for charge transfer at cermet electrodes.…”

Mechanisms that promote the evolution of cross-reactive antibodies upon vaccination with designed influenza immunogens by Yang, Leerang, Caradonna, Timothy M, Schmidt, Aaron G, Chakraborty, Arup K

“…Here, we develop a computational model to interrogate antibody evolution by affinity maturation after immunization with two types of immunogens: a heterotrimeric "chimera" hemagglutinin that is enriched for the RBS epitope relative to other B cell epitopes and a cocktail composed of three non-epitope-enriched homotrimers of the monomers that comprise the chimera. Experiments in mice find that the chimera outperforms the cocktail for eliciting RBS-directed antibodies. …”

Ultrathin Three-Dimensional Thermal Cloak by Xu, Hongyi, Shi, Xihang, Gao, Fei, Sun, Handong, Zhang, Baile

“…The cloak’s thickness is 100  μm while the cloaked air bubble has a diameter of 1 cm, achieving the ratio between dimensions of the cloak and the cloaked object 2 orders smaller than previous thermal cloaks, which were mainly realized in a two-dimensional geometry. This work can find applications in novel thermal devices in the three-dimensional physical space.…”

Rising power... to do what? : evaluating China's power in Southeast Asia by Goh, Evelyn

“…These findings suggest that even though China’s power resources have increased significantly, the way in which it has managed to convert these resources into control over outcomes is uneven.…”

Novel fiber bragg grating sensing method based on the sidelobe modulation for ultrasound detection by Liang, Sheng, Tjin, Swee Chuan, Lin, Bo, Sheng, Xinzhi, Lou, Shuqin, Zhang, Yongxin, Wang, Xin

“…When the grating length is much longer than the ultrasonic wavelength, the conventional wavelength-modulation method is invalid. In order to find out an effective sensing method, in this case, a novel sidelobe modulation has been proposed and investigated. …”
