abstract information on spatial and temporal variations of soil hydraulic conductivity (k) is essential to improve soil and water management. however several techniques have been proposed for measuring of soil hydraulic conductivity above water surface table, but reliability and easy use of these methods in various conditions were always concern for engineers. the purposes of this study are mea...

In this study, we present proof of concept for an x-ray detector. The hybrid device consists a synthetic single crystal diamond in mechanical contact with piezoelectric lithium niobate surface acoustic wave (SAW) delay line. Upon irradiation, the experiences change conductivity, which, turn, very sensitively influences SAW transmission on This attenuation is directly used to monitor beam intens...

We analyze the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) heating by incident terahertz (THz) radiation in field-effect transistor (FET) structures with graphene channels (GCs) and black-phosphorus black-arsenic gate barrier layers (BLs). Such GC-FETs can operate as bolometric THz detectors using thermionic emission of hot electrons from GC via BL into gate. Due to excitation plasmonic oscillations si...

Physical properties at the nanoscale are novel and different from those in bulk materials. Over the last few decades, there has been an ever growing interest in the fabrication of nanowire structures for a wide variety of applications including energy generation purposes. Nevertheless, the study of their transport properties, such as thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity or Seebeck coef...

Using ab initio molecular dynamics, the atomic structure and transport properties of eutectic Ga-In and Ga-In-Sn are investigated. The Kubo-Greenwood (K-G) and the Ziman-Faber (Z-F) formulations and the Wiedemann-Franz (W-F) law are used for the electrical and electronic thermal conductivity. The species diffusivity and the viscosity are also predicted using the mean square displacement and the...

Both electron and phonon transport properties of single layer MoS2 (SLMoS2) are studied. Based on first-principles calculations, the electrical conductivity of SLMoS2 is calculated by Boltzmann equations. The thermal conductivity of SLMoS2 is calculated to be as high as 116.8 Wm(-1) K(-1) by equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The predicted value of ZT is as high as 0.11 at 500 K. As th...
