Our goal is to develop a rectifying antenna (rectenna) applicable to solar spectrum energy harvesting. In particular, we aim to demonstrate viable techniques for converting portion of the solar spectrum not efficiently converted to electric power by current photovoltaic approaches. Novel design guidelines are suggested for rectifying antenna coupled tunneling diodes. We propose a new geometric ...

Vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been grown on Ni-coated silicon substrates, by using either direct current diode or triode plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition at low temperature (around 620 °C). Acetylene gas has been used as the carbon source while ammonia and hydrogen have been used for etching. However densely packed (∼ 10 cm ) CNTs were obtained when the pressure...

Spin defects in solid-state sensors are a highly promising platform for quantum sensing, field with far-reaching applications variety of industries. Here, we investigate the magnetic sensitivity spin defect ensemble detected electrically silicon carbide pn-junction diode utilizing hyperfine-induced spin-mixing effect observed vicinity zero field. To enhance baseline sensitivity, employ above ba...

Laser diode beam divergence is the main parameter for beam shaping and fiber optic coupling. Increasing the waveguide layer thickness is the conventional method to decrease the beam divergence. In this paper, the broadened asymmetric waveguide is introduced to decrease the divergence without increasing the optical power. The asymmetric waveguide was used to shift the vertical optical field to n...

Objectives The use of lasers for the treatment of periimplant hard and soft tissues is now refmore than ever before. Achieving bone integrity.

Methods In this in-vitro study sixty sterile titanium disks with SLA surface were...

The second oscillatory window of the classical Pierce diode is explored by a particle-in-cell simulation, and for the first time, results that support the existence of another chaotic region are presented. The classical Pierce model consists of a one-dimensional plasma-filled diode into which a monoenergetic electron beam is injected. This system presents a rich dynamical behavior as a function...

It is proposed to use a dynatron effect to modulate the voltage across the vacuum inverted coaxial diode with magnetic insulation supplied by an external pulsed high-voltage source connected to the modulator via the RL-circuit. Oscillations of the voltage due to oscillating regime of diode charging and/or azimuthal instability of a rotating electron flow stimulates back-bombardment electron flo...
