In this article, we report a detailed study on the influence of sputter power on physical properties of the NiO films grown by DC magnetron sputtering. Structural studies carried out by Grazing Incidence X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals the polycrystalline nature of the films with FCC phase. The crystallographic orientation (111) plane followed by (...

Legged locomotion of robots can be greatly improved by bioinspired tribological structures and by applying the principles of computational morphology to achieve fast and energy-efficient walking. In a previous research, we mounted shark skin on the belly of a hexapod robot to show that the passive anisotropic friction properties of this structure e...

The charge-plasma based dopingless (DL) tunnel field effect transistor (TFET) is considered as an emerging TFET structure resulting from its immunity against random dopant fluctuations and not requiring high thermal budgets and expensive annealing methods for fabrication. But, temperature sensitivity is a major concern to predict the reliability of...

Nickel-titanium shape memory alloys have attracted notable interest for biomedical applications due to their unique properties. However, there are still some concerns on the potential release of nickel ions causing adverse reactions in-vivo at high concentrations. In this work, samples were coated with a polyvinyl alcohol/gelatin hydrogel. Coating ...

The electric-field-enhanced effect of permittivity is one of the most important physical properties of KTa1-xNbxO3 in paraelectric, thus greatly affecting the performance of electro-optic modulator and deflector. We studied the temperature dependence of the electric-field-enhanced effect and the effect of supercooling on it. We found that this enha...

Carbon dots (CDots) are characterized by their optical properties including strong absorptions, bright fluorescence emissions, and electron acceptor and donor behaviors in the visible spectrum. In this study, aconitic acid and oligomeric polyethyleneimine were used as precursors to prepare PEI/AA-CDots by vigorous microwave-assisted thermal carboni...

Herein, we report terahertz (THz) shielding of flexible MXene (Ti3C2Tx)/MWCNT/PVA polymer composite films by using THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in 0.1–2.0 THz frequency range. The polymer composite with 42 µm thickness exhibited an excellent shielding effectiveness of 36 dB at 2 THz which is much higher than most of the reported materials...

In this study, experimental photovoltaic performance and numerical simulations are compared for perovskite solar cells devices with MoS2 hybrid hole transporting layer (HTL) structure. Experimentally, it is established that the incorporation of MoS2 with 2 mg/ml concentration effectively acts as a barrier to ion migration and minimizes the shunt co...
