Driven anisotropic diffusion at boundaries: noise rectification and particle sorting

open access: yes, 2017
We study the diffusive dynamics of a Brownian particle in proximity of a flat surface under non-equilibrium conditions, which are created by an anisotropic thermal environment with different temperatures being active along distinct spatial directions. By

Absence of piezoelectric enhancement around the morphotropic phase boundaries for Bi1−xNdxFeO3 ceramics

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2020
BiFeO3 has been receiving continuous attention for its excellent ferroelectric and multiferroic properties. Nevertheless, the piezoelectricity as a complementary property of ferroelectricity remains less addressed for BiFeO3 at least in a single phase ...

Self‐Assembled Inorganic Nanomembrane Tubes: Rolled‐Up Piezoelectrics for Microacoustic Wave‐Based Actuators and Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a self‐assembly process to generate free‐standing piezoelectric nanomembranes, forming ultracompact microtubular acoustic wave sensors and actuators. The miniaturized 3D piezoelectric platform reported in this work can be applied in telecommunication, energy harvesting, and acoustofluidics. Moreover, the 3D self‐assembly can add

The small-angle neutron scattering instrument D33 at the Institut Laue–Langevin [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Crystallography, 2016
The D33 small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrument at the Institut Laue–Langevin (ILL) is the most recent SANS instrument to be built at the ILL. In a project beginning in 2005 and lasting seven years, the concept has been developed, and the instrument designed, manufactured and installed. D33 was commissioned with neutrons during the second half

Microwave emission by nonlinear crystals irradiated with a high-intensity, mode-locked laser [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We report on the experimental investigation of the efficiency of some nonlinear crystals to generate microwave (RF) radiation as a result of optical rectification (OR) when irradiated with intense pulse trains delivered by a mode-locked laser at $1064 ...

Intelligent Acousto‐Electrical Metamaterials (IAM) for Sound Source Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Our proposed metamaterial concept enables sound source detection using a single material, in contrast to conventional arrays that require dozens or even hundreds of transducers. We show that the coupled acoustic–vibrational–electrical responses in piezoelectric metamaterials give rise to topology‐governed charge transport, producing distinct voltage ...
