By focusing electrons on probes with a diameter of 50 pm, aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is currently crossing the border to probing subatomic details. A major challenge is the measurement of atomic electric fields using differential phase contrast (DPC) microscopy, traditionally exploiting the concept of a field-induced shift of diffraction patterns. Here...

This paper proposes a mathematical model of electric and magnetic fields caused by high voltage conductors of electric power transmission systems by using a set of second-order partial differential equations. This study has considered the effect of conductor phase-sequence orientation on electromagnetic fields emitted around a double-circuit, extra high-voltage, power transmission line. Five ty...

In scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), single atoms can be imaged by detecting electrons scattered through high angles using post-specimen, annular-type detectors. Recently, it has been shown that the atomic-scale electric field of both the positive atomic nuclei and the surrounding negative electrons within crystalline materials can be probed by atomic-resolution differential pha...

Time harmonic Maxwell equations in lossless media lead to a second order differential equation for the electric field involving a differential operator that is neither elliptic nor definite. A Galerkin method using Nedelec spaces can be employed to get approximate solutions numerically. The problem of preconditioning the indefinite matrix arising from this method is discussed here. Specifically...

It is understood that molecular conjugation plays an important role in charge transport through single-molecule junctions. Here, we investigate electron transport through an anthraquinone based single-molecule three-terminal device. With the use of an electric-field induced by a gate electrode, the molecule is reduced resulting into a 10-fold increase in the off-resonant differential conductanc...

This paper presents an efficient and robust control scheme of Fuzzy Logic Electronic Differential Controller (FLEDC) for sensorless drive based electric vehicle. The proposed system consists of two Brushless DC motors (BLDC) that ensure the drive of the two back driving wheels of an electric vehicle. Electronic differential controller (EDC) ensures the maximum torque and it can control both the...

Finite element simulations were used to investigate the effect of a smooth variation of permittivity across a polarized liquid/liquid interface on the differential capacitance. The results show that a relative permittivity profile can account for the variation of ion solvation in the interfacial region, and therefore upon the diffuse double layer itself. The width and the symmetry of this profi...

We designed a coarse-grained model for aromatic ionic liquids [CnMIM [Tf2N −] with cations containing different alkyl groups. Within the framework of correlation-corrected density functional theory, the interfacial structure of studied ionic liquids are compared over a range of surface charge densities, alkyl chain lengths and surface geometries. The nonpolar hydrocarbon chains on cation tend t...

This article addresses the boundary layer flow and heat transfer in third grade fluid over an unsteady permeable stretching sheet. The transverse magnetic and electric fields in the momentum equations are considered. Thermal boundary layer equation includes both viscous and Ohmic dissipations. The related nonlinear partial differential system is reduced first into ordinary differential system a...
