Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Strategy for One‐Step Optimization of Metal Oxide Passivating Contact Materials for Si Heterojunction Solar Cells through Growth Angle Variation

Small, EarlyView.
A one‐step oblique angle reactive sputtering approach enables simultaneous tuning of bulk and interfacial stoichiometry in a metal oxide/ silicon heterojunction. In case of vanadium oxides, growth angle variation controls the formation of stoichiometric SiO2, ternary SiOx(V) interlayer, and phase purity of vanadium oxide, considerably simplifying the ...
