Fabrication and Characterization of Small Scale Photo-Electro-Chemical Solar Cells
… and characterization of a small scale photoelectro-chemical (PEC) solar cell.</p> <p>The cell consists of a p-type silicon cathode with an etched micro-cavity that houses the zinc chloride electrolyte solution, and the cavity is covered by a sheet of zinc acting as the anode. The cell …

Computational modeling of intrinsic dissipation in nano-structure
… different mechanisms of intrinsic dissipation in nano-electro mechanical systems (NEMS). We, first, use molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and gain an understanding of the underlying loss mechanisms. Using insights from the MD simulation, a multi-scale method to model intrinsic damping is …

The real space finite element Hartree-Fock method and the thermo-mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes
… method of the finite element method (FEM) in the electronic structure theory. The finite element method is a very general numerical technique in mathematics for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) and it has been widely applied in computational mechanics and engineering in general, but …

Cancer metastasis and elasticity of microenvironment
… by growing them on a substrate with appropriate mechanical stiffness (Chapter 2). This metastasis-like transition is observed as a change from a flattened, epithelial cell (E cell) to a rounded, dissociated cell morphology (R cell). We have carried out a comprehensive biophysical, biochemical and …
