Bhootpur, N. (author), Brouwer, J.C. (author), Tang, Y. (author)In the past decades, Zirconia (ZrO<sub>2</sub>) has emerged as a promising technical ceramic, both as high temperature structural material and electrolyte for fuel cells, etc. The traditional synthesis of ZrO<sub>2</sub> with spark plasma sintering (SPS) usually requires a sintering temperature as high as 1200 °C. General interest in lowering...journal article 2023

Bauer, G.E. (author), Tang, P. (author), Elyasi, M. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author), Van Wees, B. J. (author)We discuss spin-wave transport in anisotropic ferromagnets with an emphasis on the zeros of the band edges as a function of a magnetic field. An associated divergence of the magnon spin should be observable by enhanced magnon conductivities in nonlocal configurations, especially in two-dimensional ferromagnets.journal article 2023

Tang, Tianning (author), Moss, Charlotte (author), Draycott, Samuel (author), Bingham, Harry B. (author), van den Bremer, T.S. (author), Li, Yan (author), Adcock, Thomas A.A. (author)An increased number of rogue waves, relative to standard distributions, can be induced by unidirectional waves passing over abrupt decreases in water depth. We investigate this phenomenon in a more general setting of multidirectional waves. We examine the influence of the directionality on the occurrence probability of rogue waves using...journal article 2023

Tang, Z. (author), Pan, S. (author), Grubor, M. (author), Makinwa, K.A.A. (author)This article presents a sub-1 V bipolar junction transistor (BJT)-based temperature sensor that achieves both high accuracy and high energy efficiency. To avoid the extra headroom required by conventional current sources, the sensor’s diode-connected BJTs are biased by precharging sampling capacitors to the supply voltage and then discharging...journal article 2023

(author), Chang, Mau Chung Frank (author)The exploration of icy body composition in the solar system has often involved spectroscopic measurements of volatiles detected with remote sensing, such measurements portray materials naturally expelled from the surface that enter the exosphere and potentially escape into space. Variations in the ratio of deuterium and hydrogen in these...journal article 2023

Tang, Y. (author), Zhu, H. (author), Potters, Susan (author), Wisse, M. (author), Pan, W. (author)This letter addresses the problem of pushing manipulation with nonholonomic mobile robots. Pushing is a fundamental skill that enables robots to move unwieldy objects that cannot be grasped. We propose a stable pushing method that maintains stiff contact between the robot and the object to avoid consuming repositioning actions. We prove that...journal article 2023

(author)Particle tracers are sometimes used to track sources and sinks of riverine particulate and contaminant transport. A potentially new particle tracer is ~200 nm sized superparamagnetic silica encapsulated DNA (SiDNAFe). The main objective of this research was to understand and quantify the settling and aggregation behaviour of SiDNAFe in river...journal article 2023

Liu, Yuxuan (author), Eeltink, D. (author), Tang, Tianning (author), Barratt, D. (author), Li, Ye (author), Adcock, T. A.A. (author), van den Bremer, T.S. (author)Wave breaking is the main mechanism that dissipates energy from ocean waves by wind. Its effects on the frequency spectrum cause a downshift of the spectral peak and dissipation of the total energy of the spectrum. Various reduced-form wave breaking models have been developed to capture wave breaking in envelope-based wave evolution equations...journal article 2023

Xu, J. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Wang, Yong (author), Gao, Fei (author), Tang, Houjun (author), Bauer, P. (author)Two-stage AC-DC converters are considered as a prominent solution for DC-type electric vehicle (EV) chargers. However, this kind of architecture suffers from high switching losses with large heatsink and DC-link capacitor volume. To relieve this issue, this paper presents a new hybrid modulation for DC-type EV chargers, where a two-phase...journal article 2022

Haringa, C. (author), Tang, W. (author), Noorman, H.J. (author)The compartment model (CM) is a well-known approach for computationally affordable, spatially resolved hydrodynamic modeling of unit operations. Recent implementations use flow profiles based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, and several authors included microbial kinetics to simulate gradients in bioreactors. However, these...journal article 2022

Tang, Tianning (author), Barratt, Dylan (author), Bingham, Harry B. (author), van den Bremer, T.S. (author), Adcock, Thomas A.A. (author)When making directional surface gravity waves in a wave tank or when initialising numerical simulations of the ocean, the wave spectrum is often curtailed suppressing higher frequencies and wavenumbers. We consider the impact of doing this by numerically simulating two seminal experiments, those of Onorato et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 627, 2009,...journal article 2022
