Electrical and Thermal transport studies of Sr and Mn co-substituted NdCoO3
Ashutosh Kumar
Oxide thermoelectrics are exciting due to their chemical and thermal stability at high temperatures. However, the efficacy of these materials are limited by poor figure of merit (z…
Synergistic effect of workfunction and acoustic impedance mismatch for improved thermoelectric performance in GeTe/WC composite
Ashutosh Kumar, Preeti Bhumla, Artur Kosonowski +4
The preparation of composite materials is promising for concurrent optimization of electrical and thermal transport properties to realize an improved thermoelectric (TE) performanc…
Transients generate memory and break hyperbolicity in stochastic enzymatic networks
Ashutosh Kumar, R. Adhikari, Arti Dua
The hyperbolic dependence of catalytic rate on substrate concentration is a classical result in enzyme kinetics, quantified by the celebrated Michaelis-Menten equation. The ubiquit…
