Amended FRW universe: thermodynamics and heat engine

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
Thermodynamics of non-flat Amended Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (AFRW) universe with cosmological constant as thermodynamic pressure is studied. The unified first law of thermodynamics, the Clausius relation and the gravity equations yield entropy on the ...

Predictive Thermodynamics for Isochoric (Constant-Volume) Cryopreservation Systems

open access: yesThe Journal of Physical Chemistry B
Cryopreservation is the preservation and storage of biomaterials using low temperatures. There are several approaches to cryopreservation, and these often include the use of cryoprotectants, which are solutes used to lower the freezing point of water.

Oxygen‐Vacancy‐Regulated Crystallization and Ferroelectric Phase Stabilization in Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Temperature‐resolved in situ grazing‐incidence wide‐angle X‐ray scattering reveals that oxygen vacancies actively regulate crystallization in Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 thin films. By decoupling macroscopic strain from intrinsic phase evolution, a vacancy‐lean environment significantly lowers the activation energy barrier for crystallization.

CO2‐to‐CO Conversion in a Gas‐Fed, Zero‐Gap, PEM Electrolyzer Enabled by Polycations and Nitrogen‐Doped Carbon‐Supported Cobalt Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A gas‐fed, zero‐gap, PEM CO2 electrolyzer is realized by incorporating PDDA+ ions onto the carbonaceous Co/N‐C electrocatalyst, with gaseous H2 and CO2 fed into the anode and cathode, respectively. Operating without an aqueous electrolyte, the system sustains a peak FECO of 65.1% at 100 mA cm−2. ABSTRACT Electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (ECO2R)

Bioengineering Thermodynamics: An Engineering Science for Thermodynamics of Biosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Cells are open complex thermodynamic systems. Energy transformations, thermo-electro-chemical processes and transports occur across the cells membranes. Different thermo-electro-biochemical behaviours occur between health and disease states.

Enhanced Ferroelectric Phase Formation via Local Structure Modification in the Pre‐Crystalline State of Hafnium Zirconium Oxide Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Hafnium zirconium oxide thin films are grown using plasma‐enhanced atomic layer deposition with the addition of an atomic layer annealing (ALA) step. ALA leads to a change in the short‐range structure of the deposit and encourages formation of the ferroelectric Pca21 phase. The result is wake‐up‐free performance with films exposed to ALA.
