• Electrostatic built-in fields in wurtzite III-N nanostructures: impact of growth plane on second-order piezoelectricity 

  Patra, Saroj K.; Schulz, Stefan (American Physical Society, 2017)

  In this work we present a detailed analysis of the second-order piezoelectric effect in wurtzite III-N heterostructures, such as quantum wells and quantum dots, grown on different substrate orientations. Our analysis is ...
• Coupling between mean blood pressure and EEG in preterm neonates is associated with reduced illness severity scores 

  Semenova, Oksana; Lightbody, Gordon; O'Toole, John M.; Boylan, Geraldine; Dempsey, Eugene; Temko, Andriy (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018)

  Hypotension or low blood pressure (BP) is a common problem in preterm neonates and has been associated with adverse short and long-term neurological outcomes. Deciding when and whether to treat hypotension relies on an ...
• Nonlinear vibration energy harvesters for powering the internet of things 

  Podder, Pranay (University College Cork, 2017)

  The ever decreasing power consumption in electronic devices and sensors have facilitated the development of autonomous wireless sensor nodes (WSNs), which ushered in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). However, the ...
• Electrical characterisation of emerging photo anodes suited to water dissociation with an applied bias 

  Walsh, Adrian (University College Cork, 2018)

  One of the pivotal challenges of the 21st century is to develop alternative energy sources to replace the inevitable depletion of fossil fuels. One candidate for a non-polluting, abundant and renewable source of energy is ...
• Technology platform for the fabrication of micro-inductors on silicon for dc-dc conversion 

  Anthony, Ricky (University College Cork, 2018)

  Power conversion circuitry is an integral part of electronic devices such as in handheld mobile devices and laptops. With the on-going trend towards miniaturization of electronic components, a significant challenge will ...
