Introduction: In recent years, metasurfaces have been demonstrated to control the phase and amplitude of light across a planar interface and implemented for optical functions such as beam-steering, focusing, and polarization rotation. Initial efforts using plasmonic-based scatterers ... Read More

In recent years, extensive attention has been paid on the application of solar cooling for buildings. Amongst cooling technologies, low-temperature solar-driven adsorption cooling systems are emerging viable alternatives to electricity-driven vapour compression systems. They seem to have ...

Current vs. voltage characteristics simulations of field effect transistors based on CdS semiconductor have been carried out using the drift-diffusion model. In the present investigation, the two-dimensional device simulation was performed using COMSOL’s semiconductor module. The device ... Read More

This study creates a 2D fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model to study the effect of magnetic field and particle aspect ratio on the period of rotation and symmetry of ellipsoidal paramagnetic particles. The results show that the magnetic field strength has a significant effect on the ... Read More

In the past few years, metamaterial perfect absorbers (MPA) have been extensively studied due to their incredible ability to manipulate electromagnetic waves and provide a broadband, polarization-independent, and wide-angle response for a host of applications. The need for high ... Read More

In Mexico there is a decline in the production of oil deposits due to the lack of effective treatment of oil emulsions, which generate a problem in the reinjection of emulsified water, transport of oil with high water content and corrosion in the oil refineries. Through the simulation ... Read More

Pulsed DC technology has led to the design of cost-effective deposition systems and to improved film properties, compared to conventional rf systems. In this work, a two-dimensional finite element model is used to investigate the high frequency pulsed DC discharges in nitrogen. The study ... Read More

Electrodermal Activity (EDA) is a measure of changes in the conductivity of the skin. It has have been found to be indicative of the individual’s autonomic nervous activity which is correlated to their stress and emotional state. These conductivity changes are tracked by injecting a ... Read More

A 3-D COMSOL model was established to investigate the heat and mass transfer in a hollow fiber membrane (HFM) module for direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). Membrane distillation is a separation process that relies on vapor pressure gradients to drive the production of purified ... Read More

Nanoscale pipettes allow for exciting extensions of traditional current- and voltage-clamping electrophysiology experiments. However, bulk electrodynamic properties begin to break down at nanoscale openings, introducing unusual effects that must be understood in order to properly ... Read More
