Electrokinetic energy conversion efficiency in nanofluidic channels.
We theoretically evaluate the prospect of using electrokinetic phenomena to convert hydrostatic energy to electrical power. An expression is derived for the energy conversion efficiency of a two-terminal fluidic device in terms of its linear electrokinetic response properties. For a slitlike nanochannel of constant surface charge density, we predict that the maximum energy conversion efficiency...
متن کاملEnergy conversion efficiency in nanotube optoelectronics.
We present theoretical performance estimates for nanotube optoelectronic devices under bias. Current-voltage characteristics of illuminated nanotube p-n junctions are calculated using a self-consistent nonequilibrium Green's function approach. Energy conversion rates reaching tens of percent are predicted for incident photon energies near the band gap energy. In addition, the energy conversion ...
متن کاملEnergy conversion efficiency in human left ventricle.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular mechanical efficiency is one of the most important measures of left ventricular pump performance. Several clinical studies, however, have shown that mechanical efficiency does not fall substantially as the heart fails. To clarify the insensitivity of mechanical efficiency to the change in pump performance, we analyzed human left ventricular mechanical efficiency, app...
متن کاملFabrication of enclosed nanochannels using silica nanoparticles
We report a simple and inexpensive approach to the fabrication of enclosed nanoscale channels composed of silica nanoparticles on planar Si surfaces using interferometric lithography to define the long-range pattern in a photoresist film followed by spin-coating self-assembly of colloidal silica nanoparticles and high-temperature calcination to remove the photoresist leaving open nanochannels. ...
متن کاملEnergy transfer up-conversion in Tm3+-doped silica fiber
A study of the mechanisms responsible for the infra-red to near infra-red up-conversion in thulium doped silica fibres is presented. Up-conversion luminescence was observed from the H4 level of Tm under 1586 nm pumping into the F4 level. The quadratic dependence of the up-conversion luminescence at 800 nm on the 1800 nm luminescence from the F4 level confirms that the H4 level is populated by a...
