2D Magnetic and Topological Quantum Materials and Devices for Ultralow Power Spintronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
2D magnets and topological quantum materials enable ultralow‐power spintronics by combining robust magnetic order with symmetry‐protected, Berry‐curvature‐driven transport. Fundamentals of 2D anisotropy and spin‐orbit‐coupling induced band inversion are linked to scalable growth and vdW stacking.

A minimum principle for the quasi-static problem in linear viscoelasticity [PDF]

, 1992
A minimum principle is set up for the quasi-static boundary-value problem (QSP) in linear viscoelasticity. A linear homogeneous and isotropic viscoelastic solid under unidimensional displacements is considered along with the complete set of ...

Quantitative analysis of Clausius inequality

, 2015
In the context of driven diffusive systems, for thermodynamic transformations over a large but finite time window, we derive an expansion of the energy balance.

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.

Interrelationship of differential changes of thermodynamic potentials in a system in which a reaction takes place intending to obtain useful work in isentropic conditions–lectures adapted to sensing learners

Chemistry Teacher International
The educational content of physical chemistry can be a burden for students who are classified as sensing learners (SL). Therefore, for SL, the lecturer must adapt the educational material reflected in standardizing certain procedures (for example ...

Exclusion-Zone Dynamics Explored with Microfluidics and Optical Tweezers

Entropy, 2014
The exclusion zone (EZ) is a boundary region devoid of macromolecules and microscopic particles formed spontaneously in the vicinity of hydrophilic surfaces.

Dynamics of volumetrically heated matter passing through the liquid-vapor metastable states

, 2012
Remaining within the pure hydrodynamic approach, we formulate a self-consistent model for simulating the dynamic behavior of matter passing through metastable states in the two-phase liquid-vapor region of the phase diagram.

From Clinic to Computation: Multiscale Bioengineering Strategies for Durable Biological Aortic Valve Replacements

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

Thermodynamically optimal information gain in finite-time measurement

Physical Review Research
The tradeoff relation between speed and cost is a central issue in designing fast and efficient information processing devices. We derive an achievable bound on thermodynamic cost for obtaining information through finite-time (non-quasi-static ...

The Carnot Cycle for Small Systems: Irreversibility and the Cost of Operations

, 2000
We employ the recently developed framework of the energetics of stochastic processes (called `stochastic energetics'), to re-analyze the Carnot cycle in detail, taking account of fluctuations, without taking the thermodynamic limit.
