Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been widely recognized as an essential tool that enables the imaging of surface, measuring and localizing many different forces and becoming a standard technique for force spectroscopy at the nanoscale. While conventional AFM is well-developed, recent ... En savoir plus

The goal of this study is to exploit the phase change in vanadium dioxide (VO₂) for optical sensing. Infrared (IR) sensing is of paramount interest for next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Phase change materials (PCMs) are expected to enable low-energy consumption sensors, ...

The present work explores the integration of guided mode resonance (GMR) structures and topological photonics, characterized by the presence of Jackiw-Rebbi (J-R) solution. The developed surface enhanced GMR structure may serve as a platform for refractive index sensing across various ... En savoir plus

There are over 10 million kilometers of pipes and pipelines around the world that carry hazardous fluids and gases. Fluids include oil, oil products, chemicals such as solvents, caustics, acids, corrosives and combustibles often at high pressure and temperature. These pipes are ... En savoir plus

Current transformers are used to measure currents in power grid systems. They are characterized by strong interactions between external electrical sources and loads respectively and the magnetic subsystem. Self-heating due to losses has to be considered because of the temperature ... En savoir plus

This paper presents a snap shot of experimental work, which has been conducted at NTNU on billet heating with induction coils. A significant volume of experimental data have been collected for coils running with up to 0.2T: high accuracy Hall probe readings (+/-1%), metal ... En savoir plus

Absorber tubes are one of the most critical components of parabolic trough Concentrated Solar Plants, which is very likely get damaged such as crack and mass loss. Therefore, the monitoring of their structural health via Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques is regarded as essential ... En savoir plus

For an exemplary electromagnetic actuator used to drive a Braille printer, a design optimization was performed. The optimization involves stochastic variables and comprises nominal optimization, robustness analysis and robust design optimization. A heterogeneous model simulates the ... En savoir plus

For reheating steel slabs in the steel industry fossil energy like natural gas or oil-based fuels is commonly used. Induction heating is one possible way on the transition towards a carbon free steel industry. To support the industries ambition to change from furnaces with fossil energy ... En savoir plus

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic waves that travel along a metal–dielectric or metal–air interface, practically in the infrared or visible-frequency. The term "surface plasmon polariton" explains that the wave involves both charge motion in the metal ("surface ... En savoir plus
