Model-based investigations of ferroelectric energy harvesting with regard to an improvement of life span and operability
(2023-02-13)
A new ferroelectric energy harvesting concept is investigated theoretically, based on a thermo-electromechanical multiscale constitutive framework in connection with the so-called condensed method. Taking advantage of comparatively large changes of strain and polarization due to domain switching, the electric output is higher compared to what is commonly known as
piezoelectric energy harvesting. Dissipative self-heating and augmented damage accumulation, on the other hand, may impede the operability of the harvesting ...

Lateral resolution enhanced interference microscopy using virtual annular apertures
(2023-01-27)
The lateral resolution in microscopic imaging generally depends on both, the wavelength of light and the numerical aperture of the microscope objective lens. To quantify the lateral resolution Ernst Abbe considered an optical grating illuminated by plane waves. In contrast, the Rayleigh criterion holds for two point sources or point scatterers separated by a lateral distance, which are
supposed to emit spherical waves. A portion of each spherical wave is collected by the objective lens and results in an Airy disc ...

Theoretical study of spin polarization in multiphoton ionization of Xe
(2023-04-21)
Spin polarization in the multiphoton above-threshold ionization of 5p3/2- and 5p1/2-electrons of Xe with intense 395nm, circularly polarized laser pulses, is investigated theoretically. For this purpose, we solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation on the basis of spherical spinors. We, thus, simultaneously propagate the spin-up and spin-down single-active-electron wave packets, driven by the laser pulses in the ionic potential, which includes the spin–orbit interaction explicitly. The present theoretical results ...

What Helps the Unemployed to Stay Healthy? A Qualitative Study of Coping with the Negative Effects of Job Loss
(2022-05-22)
Background
A variety of empirical studies have shown the negative effects of unemployment on health. A research gap exists regarding salutogenic factors and successful coping strategies to master involuntary job loss and unemployment with the least damage to health. Hence, this study aims at generating a deeper understanding of coping with unemployment and maintaining health.
Design and methods
We conducted problem-centered guideline interviews with 21 unemployed people. For the analysis of the interviews, we ...

Potential of Fe-Mn-Al-Ni Shape Memory Alloys for Internal Prestressing of Ultra-High Performance Concrete
(2023-05-18)
Prestressing of concrete is a commonly used technique in civil engineering to achieve long spans, reduced structural thicknesses, and resource savings. However, in terms of application, complex tensioning devices are necessary, and prestress losses due to shrinkage and creep of the concrete are unfavourable in terms of sustainability. In this work, a prestressing method using novel Fe-Mn-Al-Ni shape memory alloy rebars as a tensioning system in UHPC is investigated. A generated stress of about 130 MPa was measured ...

Flexible Electrochromic Device on Polycarbonate Substrate with PEDOT:PSS and Color-Neutral TiO2 as Ion Storage Layer
(2023-04-22)
Electrochromic (EC) windows on glass for thermal and glare protection in buildings, often referred to as smart (dimmable) windows, are commercially available, along with rearview mirrors or windows in aircraft cabins. Plastic-based applications, such as ski goggles, visors and car windows, that require lightweight, three-dimensional (3D) geometry and high-throughput manufacturing are still under development. To produce such EC devices (ECDs), a flexible EC film could be integrated into a back injection molding process, ...

Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Mineralization Using Industrial Waste as Feedstock to Produce Cement Substitutes
(2023-05-16)
The mineralization of carbon dioxide offers a way to permanently sequester carbon while producing construction materials, combining the concepts of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) and carbon capture and storage (CSS). However, it is important to evaluate different mineralization processes in terms of their environmental impact. This study provides the first comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) analysis that focuses on the utilization of industrial waste materials. We analyzed the climate and material footprint ...

Structural and superelastic properties of Fe–Mn–Al–Ni shape memory alloy sheets produced on industrial process routes by hot rolling
(2023-05-02)
In the present study the structural and functional properties of Fe–Mn–Al–Ni shape memory alloy sheets produced on an industrial process route focusing on hot rolling were investigated. The as-processed condition is characterized by a high fraction of the non-transforming γ-phase, which ensures good workability, but is associated with poor superelasticity. The alloy shows good structural properties with a yield strength of about 600 MPa, which is well above the usual transformation stress related to the martensitic ...

Microbial response of distinct soil types to land-use intensification at a South-Indian rural-urban interface
(2022-03-01)
Aims
Rural-urban dynamics are leading to agricultural intensification practices, which affect microbial ecosystem functions in a soil-specific way. This study aimed to investigate what effects agricultural intensification has on soil microbial communities.
Methods
The effects of N fertilization level (low and high) and crop type (maize and finger millet) on microbial communities were investigated, using a two-factorial split-plot design, at two fields (irrigated and rainfed) on typical soil types (Nitisol and ...
