Performance of the Unstructured-Mesh, SWAN+ADCIRC Model in Computing Hurricane Waves and Surge

Abstract: Coupling wave and circulation models is vital in order to define shelf, nearshore and inland hydrodynamics during a hurricane. The intricacies of the inland floodplain domain, level of required mesh resolution and physics make these complex computations very cycle-intensive. Nonetheless, fast wall-clock times are important, especially when forecasting an incoming hurricane.

Photoinduced electron storage and surface plasmon modulation in Ag@TiO2 clusters.

Abstract: The reversible charging and discharging effects associated with photoexcitation of a TiO2 shell in a Ag@TiO2 composite are described. The photoinduced charge separation in the TiO2 shell is followed by electron injection into the silver core. Interestingly, the charging of the silver core is associated with the shift in the surface plasmon band from 460 to 430 nm. The stored electrons are discharged upon exposure of the charged Ag@TiO2 composite to an electron acceptor. As the electrons from the silver core are discharged, the original surface plasmon absorption of the Ag core is restored.

Ultimate thin vertical p–n junction composed of two-dimensional layered molybdenum disulfide

Abstract: Molybdenum disulfide is a two-dimensional semiconducting material that has properties that make it useful for compact electronic devices. Here, the authors use molybdenum disulfide in an ultra-thin p–n junction that demonstrate ambipolar carrier transport and current rectification.
