Review of Experimental Work in Biomimetic Foils by Triantafyllou, Michael S., Techet, Alexandra H., Hover, Franz S.

“…This review focuses primarily on experimental studies on some of the, at least partially understood, mechanisms, which include 1) the formation of streets of vortices around and behind two- and three-dimensional propulsive oscillating foils; 2) the formation of vortical structures around and behind two- and three-dimensional foils used for maneuvering, hovering, or fast-starting; 3) the formation of leading-edge vortices in flapping foils, under steady flapping or transient conditions; 4) the interaction of foils with oncoming, externally generated vorticity; multiple foils, or foils operating near a body or wall.…”

Theoretical and experimental study of semiconducting iron disilicide and its applications to thin film solar cells by Tan, Khing Hong

“…In addition, β-FeSi2 is expected as a promising photovoltaic material with a theoretical conversion efficiency as high as 23% due to its ultrahigh optical absorption coefficient in the order of 105 cm-1 near the absorption edge. These properties, along with other features such as abundance of constituent elements, nearly lattice-matched to Si, and high thermal stability and oxidation resistance, have made β-FeSi2 one of the most attractive materials of choice for future generation thin film photovoltaic applications. …”
