Axisymmetric membrane nano-resonators: A comparison of nonlinear reduced-order models
Safvan Palathingal, Dominic Vella
The shift in the backbone of the frequency--response curve and the `jump-down' observed at a critical frequency observed in nano-resonators are caused by their nonlinear mechanical…
Effect of Macroscopic Surface Heterogeneities on an Advancing Contact Line
Solomon S. Melides, Dominic Vella, Marco Ramaioli
The shape of a liquid-air interface advancing on a heterogeneous surface was studied experimentally, together with the force induced by the pinning of the contact line to surface d…
Indentation of two-dimensional solids: The signatures of geometrical and material nonlinearity
Thomas G. J. Chandler, Dominic Vella
The material characterization of ultra-thin solid sheets, including two-dimensional materials like graphene, is often performed through indentation tests on a flake suspended over…
Quantum Capacitance Modifies Interionic Interactions in Semiconducting Nanopores
Alpha A. Lee, Dominic Vella, Alain Goriely
Nanopores made with low dimensional semiconducting materials, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene slit pores, are used in supercapacitors. In theories and simulations of their op…
Capacitance-Power-Hysteresis Trilemma in Nanoporous Supercapacitors
Alpha A Lee, Dominic Vella, Alain Goriely +1
Nanoporous supercapacitors are an important player in the field of energy storage that fill the gap between dielectric capacitors and batteries. The key challenge in the developmen…
