the output of a piezoelectric nanogenerator based on zno nanowire is largely affected by the shape of nanowire. in order to obtain mechanically stable nanogenerator with high performance, the investigation of mechanical and electrical characteristics related to the nanowires and materials used in nanogenerators are of great interest and significance. this paper presents the various behavior of ...

the geometry of a collector is one of the important factors that can increase the incident radiation on the collector surface. in the present study, the incident radiation for a stationary collector with cone geometry, i.e. a conical collector, is theoretically and experimentally investigated. this type of collector is always stable and does not need a fixture to install. moreover, it has a sym...

Mathematical expressions based on earlier ideas of the author are given to describe the three-dimensional surfaces of hexagonal ice crystals and conical graupel and hail particles. In the former class, the expressions closely parallel the expression for prolate spheroid but the cross section is transformed into a hexagon by an expression designed previously. A special transformation containing ...

The generation of energetic electron and proton beams was studied from the interaction of high intensity laser pulses with pre-drilled conical targets. These conical targets are laser machined onto flat targets using 7–180μJ pulses whose axis of propagation is identical to that of the main high intensity pulse. This method significantly relaxes requirements for alignment of conical targets in s...

In this paper we develop extensions of the conical techniques exposed in the book [3], and we develop new algorithms as well. We make an effort to keep this paper enough self-contained, however, the book [3] (hereafter often referred to as ”the book” for the sake of brevity) can be useful for further details. Such book is an outgrow of two papers published on the journal Optimization, namely [1...

kopet-dagh basin is located in north and northeast of iran. khangiran formation is one of the most important formations of paleogene deposits. for study of khangiran formation bivalves, chehelkaman syncline section has been selected. this section located in west of sarakhs city, east of kopet-dagh basin. lithology of this formation in the sarakhs region composed of marl, marly limestone and sil...

Conical stromatolites are thought to be robust indicators of the presence of photosynthetic and phototactic microbes in aquatic environments as early as 3.5 billion years ago. However, phototaxis alone cannot explain the ubiquity of disrupted, curled, and contorted laminae in the crests of many Mesoproterozoic, Paleoproterozoic, and some Archean conical stromatolites. Here, we demonstrate that ...

We present a method for the generation of high kinetic energy attosecond electron packets via magnetostatic and aperture filtering of conical surface plasmon (SP) accelerated electrons. The conical SP waves are excited by coupling an ultrafast radially polarized laser beam to a conical silica lens coated with an Ag film. Electromagnetic and particle tracking models are employed to characterize ...

The high efficiency of monocoque cylindrical shells in carrying axial loads is curtailed by their extreme sensitivity to imperfections. For practical applications, this issue has been alleviated by introducing closely stiffened shells which, however, require expensive manufacturing. Here we present an alternative approach that provides a fundamentally different solution. We design symmetry-brea...
