typically, two configurations are used for energy harvesting, with different advantages: piezoelastic and piezomagnetoelastic. best performance of piezoelastic configuration is limited to its narrow bandwidth around the resonance frequency. if the excitation frequency slightly deviates from the resonance frequency, the power-out is severely reduced. to overcome this, the piezomagnetoelastic has...

Energy harvesting is a conventional method to collect the dissipated energy of a system. In this paper, we investigate the optimal location of a piezoelectric element to harvest maximum power concerning different excitation frequencies of a vibrating cantilever beam. The cantilever beam oscillates by a concentrated sinusoidal tip force, and a piezoelectric patch is integrated on the beam to gen...

europium (eu) doped zno microsphere based nano-sheets were synthesized through hydrothermal method. effects of different concentrations of europium on structural and optical properties of zno nano-sheets were investigated in detail. prepared un-doped and eu-doped zno samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (edx), scanning electron microscop...

axial distributions of plasma and floating potentials, electron number density and the electron energy distribution function (eedf) have been measured in the double layer (dl) region of an he discharge constriction. excitation processes in the constriction region are studied. using a linearization method for the nonstationary balance equations and choosing appropriate discharge conditions, the ...

The present article investigates effects of the multi-frequency excitation on the output power of a piezomagnetoelastic energy harvester. The piezomagnetoelastic power generator is assumed to operate in the mono-stable mode. A perturbation technique based on the method of multiple scales is employed to develop an analytical solution to nonlinear differential equations governing the system dynam...

The accuracy of excited states calculated with Kohn-Sham density functional theory using the maximum overlap method has been assessed for the calculation of adiabatic excitation energies, excited state structures, and excited state harmonic and anharmonic vibrational frequencies for open-shell singlet excited states. The computed Kohn-Sham adiabatic excitation energies are improved significantl...

We implement time propagation of the nonequilibrium Green function for atoms and molecules by solving the Kadanoff-Baym equations within a conserving self-energy approximation. We here demonstrate the usefulness of time propagation for calculating spectral functions and for describing the correlated electron dynamics in a nonperturbative electric field. We also demonstrate the use of time propa...

On the propagation of resonant radiation through an optically dense system, photon capture is commonly followed by one or more near-field transfers of the resulting optical excitation. The process invokes secondary changes to the local electronic environment, shifting the electromagnetic interactions between participant chromophores and producing modified intermolecular forces. From the theory ...

A kinetic theory of resonant interaction between electrostatic waves and the bounce motion of electrostatically trapped electrons is developed. Precise criteria are derived for the stability of electrostatic potential structures which trap electrons in a highly magnetized plasma. The theory explains the energy transfer from electron phase space holes to waves observed in simulations. It may als...
