We report the reversible thermoelectric switching [1, 2, 3] induced by a time dependent and frequency domain electric field (or AC voltage) in a microscopic single contact nano-device based on Gold and Vanadium Oxide, which promises potential applications for future information storage ...

Recent developments (1) in thermal metamaterials that enhance the response of thermoelectric generators (TEG) have revived the interest in TEG research. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software offers the unique opportunity to model TEGs with various cooling systems (air, water, etc) and ... En savoir plus
Within the field of microfluidics, scientists and engineers have found ways to manipulate flow at the micron scale in order to downsize standard experimental procedures. These techniques boast faster results while consuming less resources. Microfluidic devices can be used for point-of ... En savoir plus
Microheaters used for gas sensing applications have been studied analytically and experimentally. Previously reported microheaters at COMSOL® conferences have shed light on microheaters’ thermal properties, optimized geometries and power consumption—all based on steady-state analysis. In ...

Type I diabetes results from the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islets and is a growing and cost intensive chronic health problem throughout the world. Monitoring blood sugar levels and recurrent intervention with exogenous insulin allows many patients to lead relatively normal ... En savoir plus
One of the obstacles preventing photovoltaic and concentrated solar power technologies from scaling up to meet increasing electricity demands is the inevitable dust accumulation on the optical surfaces of solar collectors. The ideal location for solar power is arid environments due to ... En savoir plus
The COMSOL Multiphysics® software has proved itself an invaluable tool for teaching "Transport Phenomena" to graduate and undergraduate engineers. In particular, the software allows us to visualize and explore solutions well beyond what students could do with pencil and paper. For ... En savoir plus
A good approximation of rough surfaces and their random behaviour is very important in some engineering problems. Fractal modelling provide an alternative to generate rough surfaces based in statistically self-similar non-Euclidean geometries, as seen in [Fig. 1]. Through a frequency ... En savoir plus
Acoustic metamaterials commonly use Helmholtz resonators to attenuate an acoustic signal at the resonator’s resonance frequency. The resonance frequency is only dependent on the geometry, which is shown by representing the Helmholtz resonator as a mass spring system using the lumped ... En savoir plus
INTRODUCTION: The Dirac equation is employed in particle physics and historically gave the first combined unification of quantum mechanics and relativity theory by introducing a four component wave function Ψi. This wave function described the behavior of fermion type particles (e.g. ... En savoir plus
