Journal of Glaciology, 2010 AbstractThe deformation of the ground surface that is produced by frost heave has motivated almost a century of concerted laboratory, field and theoretical studies. Well before the development of equipment capable of resolving the microscopic films that support liquid transport towards growing ice lenses, early investigators predicted their occurrence ...

Gapless Superconductivity From Extremely Dilute Magnetic Disorder in 2H‐NbSe2‐xSx
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We demonstrate that 2H‐NbSe2‐xSx hosts gapless superconductivity at unexpectedly low magnetic impurity concentrations. Combining STM, Bogoliubovde Gennes simulations, DFT, and quasiparticle interference, we comprehensively study the development of gapless behavior and show that SeS substitution reshapes the band structure, enhances nesting, and drives ...

Optimal Efficiency and Heaving Velocity in Flapping Foil Propulsion
, 2021 A novel model is proposed to estimate the optimal propulsive efficiency and the optimal dimensionless heaving velocity of a flapping foil based on a lift–drag ratio under the assumption of negligible pitching power.

A Survey of Interlayer Interaction Models for Graphene and Other 2D Materials
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Van der Waals interactions arising from electronic polarization at atomically close interfaces generate corrugated interlayer energy landscapes that govern normal and tangential tractions. This review presents an overview of quantum, atomistic, analytical, and continuum modeling approaches, highlighting their roles across length scales in capturing ...

Schooling behavior of rigid and flexible heaving airfoils
, 2018 The schooling behavior of rigid and flexible NACA0017 airfoils undergoing a heaving motion was experimentally explored using a merry-go-round configuration. Each airfoil was attached to the end of a horizontal support bar whose other end was connected to
