Magnetocaloric effect: From materials research to refrigeration devices
(Elsevier, 2018)
The magnetocaloric effect and its most straightforward application, magnetic refrigeration, are topics of current interest due to the potential improvement of energy efficiency of cooling and temperature control systems, ...

Performance improvement in olive stone's combustion from a previous carbonization transformation
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
Under the framework of circular economy, agricultural wastes are an interesting carbon-based feedstock for thermal energy and power generation. Their use could extend the availability of biomass-based fuel and, at the same ...

When the Hotter Cools More Quickly: Mpemba Effect in Granular Fluids
(American Physical Society, 2017)
Under certain conditions, two samples of fluid at different initial temperatures present a counterintuitive behavior known as the Mpemba effect: it is the hotter system that cools sooner. Here, we show that the Mpemba ...

Microstructure, interfaces and properties of 3YTZP ceramic composites with 10 and 20 vol% different graphene-based nanostructures as fillers
(Elsevier, 2019)
The graphene family comprises not only single layer graphene but also graphene-based nanomaterials (GBN), with remarkably different number of layers, lateral dimension and price. In this work, two of these GBN, namely ...

Electrical conduction mechanisms in graphene nanoplatelet/yttria tetragonal zirconia composites
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
Yttria tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (3YTZP) ceramic composites with 5, 10 and 20 vol% graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and their electrical conductivity as a function ...

Interface-mediated spontaneous symmetry breaking and mutual communication between drops containing chemically active particles
(Nature Research, 2020)
Symmetry breaking and the emergence of self-organized patterns is the hallmark of complexity. Here, we demonstrate that a sessile drop, containing titania powder particles with negligible self-propulsion, exhibits a ...

Calculation of clinical dose distributions in proton therapy from microdosimetry
(Wiley, 2019-12)
Purpose: To introduce a new algorithm—MicroCalc—for dose calculation by modeling microdosimetric energy depositions and the spectral fluence at each point of a particle beam. Proton beams are considered as a particular ...

Ion heat transport dynamics during edge localized mode cycles at ASDEX Upgrade
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
The edge ion heat transport is analyzed in ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) by combining a comprehensive set of pedestal measurements with both interpretive and predictive modelling. The experimentally determined ion heat diffusivities, ...
