Interfacial friction-induced electronic excitation mechanism for tribo-tunneling current generation

Jun Liu, Keren Jiang, Lan Nguyen +2

Direct-current (d.c.) electricity generation using moving Schottky contact is emerging as a new strategy for mechanical energy conversion. Here, we demonstrate the generation of d.…

Nanomechanical resonance captures pre-melting transition in DNA unravelling

Keren Jiang, Faheem Khan, Javix Thomas +2

A double-stranded DNA unravels thermally through intermediate denatured bubble segments. Intrinsically, fluctuations ensue at the bubble boundaries from non-equilibrium (NE) energy…

Abiotic streamers in a microfluidic system

Nandini Debnath, Mahtab Hassanpourfard, Ranajay Ghosh +3

In this work, we report the phenomenon of formation of particle aggregates in the form of thin slender strings when a polyacrylamide (PAM) solution, laden with polystyrene (PS) par…

Thermal graphene metamaterials and epsilon-near-zero high temperature plasmonics

Sarang Pendharker, Huan Hu, Sean Molesky +7

The key feature of a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) emitter is the enhancement of thermal emission corresponding to energies just above the bandgap of the absorbing photovoltaic cell and…

Effect of interface on mid-infrared photothermal response of MoS2 thin film grown by pulsed laser deposition

Ankur Goswami, Priyesh Dhandaria, Soupitak Pal +5

Here we report mid infrared (mid-IR) photothermal response of multi layer MoS2 thin film grown on crystalline (p-type silicon and c-axis oriented single crystal sapphire) and amorp…

A nanostructured surface increases friction exponentially at the solid-gas interface

Arindam Phani, Vakhtang Putkaradze, J. E. Hawk +2

According to Stokes' law, a moving solid surface experiences dissipation that is linearly related to its velocity and the viscosity of the medium. This linear dependence on viscosi…

Universal Spin-Momentum Locked Optical Forces

Farid Kalhor, Thomas Thundat, Zubin Jacob

Evanescent electromagnetic waves possess spin-momentum locking, where the direction of propagation (momentum) is locked to the inherent polarization of the wave (transverse spin).…

Bacterial floc mediated rapid streamer formation in creeping flows

Mahtab Hassanpourfard, Zahra Nikakhtari, Ranajay Ghosh +4

One of the central puzzles concerning the interaction of low Reynolds number (Re<<1) fluid transport with bacterial biomass is the formation of filamentous structures called stream…
