Integrating end-of-life wind turbine blades into a variety of building layers through multiple use cycles – a strategy to maximize the lifetime of wasted materials; a case study in Eemshaven

An increasing massive volume of wind turbine blades are coming to end-of-life in the Netherlands. These components contain mostly fibre-reinforced plastics, which has been banned from landfill and incineration. Since then, companies and institutions have spent their efforts to expand the lifetime of this material by developing a circular wind...

Gerrit Rietveld 's shop designs in the Netherlands from 1922 to 1962

This essay investigates the shops as well as commercial buildings designed by Gerrit Rietveld in the Netherlands from 1922 to 1962, focusing on the relation between the interior and the exterior in each project. Gaining insight into his contribution to the history of shop designs. This research has been conducted through a combination of...

Spin-orbit interaction in a dual gated InAs/GaSb quantum well

The spin-orbit interaction is investigated in a dual gated InAs/GaSb quantum well. Using an electric field, the quantum well can be tuned between a single-carrier regime with exclusively electrons as carriers and a two-carrier regime where electrons and holes coexist. The spin-orbit interaction in both regimes manifests itself as a beating in...

Giant Spin-Orbit Splitting in Inverted InAs/GaSb Double Quantum Wells

Transport measurements in inverted InAs/GaSb quantum wells reveal a giant spin-orbit splitting of the energy bands close to the hybridization gap. The splitting results from the interplay of electron-hole mixing and spin-orbit coupling, and can exceed the hybridization gap. We experimentally investigate the band splitting as a function of top...

Decoupling Edge Versus Bulk Conductance in the Trivial Regime of an InAs/GaSb Double Quantum Well Using Corbino Ring Geometry

A Corbino ring geometry is utilized to analyze edge and bulk conductance of InAs/GaSb quantum well structures. We show that edge conductance exists in the trivial regime of this theoretically predicted topological system with a temperature-insensitive linear resistivity per unit length in the range of 2 kΩ/μm. A resistor network model of the...
