Avalanches in Breakdown and Fracture Processes

open access: yes, 1999
We investigate the breakdown of disordered networks under the action of an increasing external---mechanical or electrical---force. We perform a mean-field analysis and estimate scaling exponents for the approach to the instability.

Recent Advancements in Bulk Processing of Rare‐Earth‐Free Hard Magnetic Materials and Related Multiscale Simulations

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article provides an overview of recent advancements in bulk processing of rare‐earth‐free hard magnetic materials. It also addresses related simulation approaches at different scales. The research on rare‐earth‐free magnetic materials has increased significantly in recent years, driven by supply chain issues, environmental and social concerns, and

Challenges during Flash Lamp Annealing of Aerosol‐Deposited Barium Titanate Films

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Aerosol deposition is used to rapidly deposit barium titanate films with thicknesses ranging from 2 to 16 μm at room temperature, eliminating the need for further densification. However, to recover the electromechanical properties, annealing is required, which limits the usage of temperature‐sensitive substrates.

Simulation of electrical trees in XLPE cable insulation and electric field analysis

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2018
To understand the non-breakdown phenomenon during the accelerating electrical tree ageing in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable insulation, the non-breakdown mechanism of electrical tree is investigated in this study.

Electrical Breakdown of Excitonic Insulators

open access: yesPhysical Review X
We propose a new electrical breakdown mechanism for exciton insulators in the BCS limit, which differs fundamentally from the Zener breakdown mechanism observed in traditional band insulators. Our new mechanism results from the instability of the many-body ground state for exciton condensation, caused by the strong competition between the polarization ...

Quantum Response at Finite Fields and Breakdown of Chern Numbers

open access: yes, 1999
We show that the response to an electric field, in models of the Integral Quantum Hall effect, is analytic in the field and has isolated essential singularity at zero field.

Investigating membrane breakdown of neuronal cells exposed to nonuniform electric fields by finite-element modeling and experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
High electric field strengths may induce high cell membrane potentials. At a certain breakdown level the membrane potential becomes constant due to the transition from an insulating state into a high conductivity and high permeability state.

Nitride‐Reinforced Metal Matrix Nanocomposite Powders Production by Plasma‐Assisted Thermochemical Treatment of Intermetallic Powders

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a new methodology for producing metal matrix nanocomposites in the solid state. The process involves the plasma‐assisted thermochemical treatment of metallic alloy powders. As a proof‐of‐concept, TiN nanoparticles are synthesized directly on the surface of FeTi intermetallic powder particles, enabling the development of the ...

Morphology evolution and breakdown mechanism of cross‐linked polyethylene (XLPE)–silicone rubber (SiR) interface induced by silicone grease diffusion

open access: yesHigh Voltage, 2022
Silicone grease (SG) is used for lubrication during cable accessory installation and can penetrate into the silicone rubber (SiR), leading to properties deterioration of the SiR.

Ground-State Decay Rate for the Zener Breakdown in Band and Mott Insulators

open access: yes, 2005
Non-linear transport of electrons in strong electric fields, as typified by dielectric breakdown, is re-formulated in terms of the ground-state decay rate originally studied by Schwinger in non-linear QED. We discuss the effect of electron interaction on
