Developments in THz Polaritonics: Towards Integrated Nonlinear THz Spectroscopy by Sung, Eric Rueyhao

“…The optical pump light is focused onto the bevel, after which it refracts and becomes confined within the waveguide by total internal reflection. This allows the pump beam to repeatedly drive the generated THz field during its multiple back-and-forth traversals within the LN slab. …”

Compositionally graded alloys fabricated using the laser powder bed fusion technique by Wei, Siyuan

“…In this study, among the several available AM processes, the LPBF technique is selected to fabricate compositionally graded alloys, as it has higher spatial resolution and lower cost, compared to directed energy deposition (DED) and electron beam powder bed fusion (EBPBF). With three different LPBF setups and four alloy systems examined in this study, the following objectives are achieved: (i) screening out, from a large range of compositions, the alloys that are amenable to LPBF, (ii) examining the effects of the LPBF characteristics, e.g., rapid cooling rate, on the micro-/meso-structure and properties of the fabricated parts with varying chemical compositions, and (iii) evaluating the fabrication methods in terms of types of achieved gradation (stepwise or smooth), efficiency, and level of chemical segregation. …”

Synthesis and characterization of Cu-Chalcogenide nanocrystals for potential applications in low-cost solar cells by Ahmadi, Mahshid

“…Since the opto-electrical properties of the NCs are highly dependent on the composition and crystal structure, X-ray diffraction, selected area electron diffraction, convergent beam electron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy were used to determine their crystal structure. …”

Design and analysis of passive phase shifters using controllable defected ground structures in 65nm CMOS technology for 77-81 GHz automotive radar by Wu, Jiaqi

“…Phased array radar is a low cost and promising technique to achieve high angular resolution by scanning a narrow beam in azimuth. The key enabler of a phased array radar is the phase shifter, which provides a progressive phase difference in each channel to achieve beamforming. …”

Enhancing tensile and fatigue properties of additively manufactured alloys by post-processing heat treatment by Radhakrishnan, Jayaraj

“…Amongst the different AM techniques, laser beam-powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) is the most abundantly investigated process due to its deep market penetration as well as the vast number of LB-PBF machine manufacturers. …”

Methods of growth and transfer of carbon nanotubes onto substrates for advanced electrical and electronic applications by Ng, Zhi Kai

“…However, the main concern of CNT growth on non-planar substrates is the uneven­­ deposition of catalysts due to the direction dependence of the E-beam deposition method. In this context, a dip-coating method for catalyst deposition is developed and optimised to synthesize CNT on GF. …”

A combined numerical and experimental approach to investigations of body-freedom flutter on flying wings by Ang, Elijah Hao Wei

“…The structural dynamics are modelled using an Euler-Bernoulli beam which is tightly coupled with the rigid-body motions of the flying wing, and subsequently discretised using the finite-element method. …”
