Viscous effects in sheared unsaturated wet granular materials

Lhassan Amarsid, Ahmad Awdi et al.

We report on experiments and discrete element simulations of homogeneous, simple, normal stress-controlled, shear flows of model unsaturated granular materials: assemblies of frictional spherical ...

Scaling of the linear viscoelasticity of entangled poly(ethylene oxide) aqueous solutions

Heeyeol Lee, Junghaeng Lee et al.

The dynamic modulus of polymer solutions and melts can be expressed as a universal function of reduced frequency when the modulus is scaled by a characteristic value according to the scaling theory ...

On the linear viscoelastic behavior of semidilute polydisperse bubble suspensions in Newtonian media

Stamatina Mitrou, Simona Migliozzi et al.

In this work, we investigated the linear viscoelasticity of semidilute polydisperse bubble suspensions via small amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) tests performed in a rheo-optical setup. For all ...

Structure and ionic conduction enhancement mechanisms at CeO₂/SrTiO₃ heterointerfaces

Bonan Zhu, Georg Schusteritsch et al.

Fluorite-perovskite heterointerfaces garner great interest for enhanced ionic conductivity for application in electronic and energy devices. However, the origin of observed enhanced ionic ...

Amorphous TeO₂ as p-type oxide semiconductor for device applications

John Robertson, Xuewei Zhang et al.

Electronic devices would benefit from a low-cost amorphous, dopable, bipolar oxide semiconductor. However, p-type oxides are quite rare, largely due to self-compensation by native defects. Our ...

A spin-wave frequency demultiplexer based on YIG nanowaveguides intersecting at a small angle

K. O. Nikolaev, D. Raskhodchikov et al.

We experimentally demonstrate a simple design for a spin-wave frequency demultiplexer based on submicrometer-width yttrium iron garnet waveguides intersecting at an angle of 30°. We show that, ...

Spatiotemporal diffusion metamaterials: Theories and applications

Jinrong Liu, Liujun Xu et al.

Diffusion metamaterials with artificial spatial structures have significant potential in controlling energy and mass transfer. Those static structures may lead to functionality and tunability ...
