This paper presents an extensive electro-thermal characterisation of latest generation Silicon Carbide (SiC) power MOSFETs under Unclamped Inductive Switching (UIS) conditions. Tests are carried out to thoroughly understand the single pulse avalanche ruggedness limits of commercial SiC MOSFETs and assess their ageing under repetitive stress conditions. Both a functional and a structural charact...

An unusual copper(ii) complex of a highly rigid and bulky ligand (a macrocycle-glyoxal condensate) has been synthesized and investigated via DFT calculations and structural characterisation.

This chapter presents the methodologies that have been developed during the Bacchus project concerning the automatic detection and characterisation of vineyard plots in aerial images based on their structural properties, as well as the main results obtained in representative test areas of the project. They include a segmentation stage based on textural and shape criteria, followed by a more pre...
