Accurate high-throughput screening of I-II-V 8-electron Half-Heusler compounds for renewable-energy applications [PDF]
, 2019 Renewable energy resources have emerged as the best alternatives to fossil fuel energy which are rapidly declining with time. Here, eight valence-electron count Half-Heusler(HH) alloys have been studied using reliable first principles calculations in the search of potential candidates for renewable energy applications like thermoelectric (TE), solar ...

Generation of Single, Monodisperse Compound Droplets [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 The generation of single, monodisperse compound droplets is shown in these fluid dynamics videos. In an apparatus designed to produce single compound droplets, a piezoelectric diaphragm generates a pressure pulse from a voltage waveform input to eject a droplet.
