Gao, Y. (author), Liu, X. (author), Ren, S. (author), Assaf Martinez-Streignard, E.I. (author), Liu, Pengfei (author), Zhang, Yuqing (author)Bitumen fatigue resistance is critical to determine the overall fatigue performance and service life of asphalt pavements. However, the mechanisms responsible for fatigue damage of bitumen have previously not been well understood. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has recently emerged as a powerful computer-aided numerical technique to model...journal article 2024

Gao, Y. (author), Liu, X. (author), Ren, S. (author), Li, Yuanyuan (author), Zhang, Yuqing (author)Surface energy is a key material property and can work as a crucial parameter in various mechanical models to predict the moisture sensitivity and fatigue damage of asphalt mixtures. The calculated surface energy values of the aggregate minerals strongly depend on their surface roughness. Therefore, it is very relevant for accurate...journal article 2023

Hayton, D.J. (author), Gao, J.R. (author), Kooi, J.W. (author), Ren, Y. (author), Zhang, W. (author), De Lange, G. (author)We report on a method to stabilize a hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixer at 2.5 THz. The technique utilizes feedback control of the local oscillator (LO) laser power by means of a swing-arm actuator placed in the optical beam path. We demonstrate that this technique yields a factor of 50 improvement in the spectroscopic Allan variance time which...journal article 2012

Ren, Y. (author), Gao, J.R. (author), Hovenier, J.N.Higgins, R. (author), Zhang, W. (author), Bell, A. (author), Klein, B. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author)High-resolution heterodyne spectrometers operating at above 2 THz are crucial for detecting, e.g., the HD line at 2.7 THz and oxygen OI line at 4.7 THz in astronomy. The potential receiver technology is a combination of a hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixer and a THz quantum cascade laser (QCL) local oscillator (LO).Here we report the first...conference paper 2010
