• Electron-phonon coupling and electronic thermoelectric properties of n-type PbTe driven near the soft-mode phase transition via lattice expansion 

  Cao, Jiang; Dangić, Đorđe; Querales-Flores, José D.; Fahy, Stephen; Savić, Ivana (American Physical Society, 2021-07-12)

  IV–VI materials are some of the most efficient bulk thermoelectric materials due to their proximity to soft-mode phase transitions, which leads to low lattice thermal conductivity. It has been shown that the lattice thermal ...
• Cell formation in stanogermanides using pulsed laser thermal anneal on Ge0.91Sn0.09 

  Galluccio, Emmanuele; Mirabelli, Gioele; Harvey, Alan; Conroy, Michele; Napolitani, Enrico; Duffy, Ray (Elsevier Ltd., 2020-08-26)

  Pulsed laser thermal annealing (LTA) has been thoroughly investigated for the formation of low-resistance stanogermanide contacts on Ge0.91Sn0.09 substrates. Three different metals (Ni, Pt, and Ti) were characterized using ...
• A smart archive box for museum artifact monitoring using battery-less temperature and humidity sensing 

  Gawade, Dinesh R.; Ziemann, Steffen; Kumar, Sanjeev; Iacopino, Daniela; Belcastro, Marco; Alfieri, Davide; Schuhmann, Katharina; Anders, Manfred; Pigeon, Melusine; Barton, John; O'Flynn, Brendan; Buckley, John L. (MDPI, 2021-07-19)

  For the first time, this paper reports a smart museum archive box that features a fully integrated wireless powered temperature and humidity sensor. The smart archive box has been specifically developed for microclimate ...
• Development of a low-power underwater NFC-enabled sensor device for seaweed monitoring 

  Peres, Caroline; Emam, Masoud; Jafarzadeh, Hamed; Belcastro, Marco; O'Flynn, Brendan (MDPI, 2021-07-07)

  Aquaculture farming faces challenges to increase production while maintaining welfare of livestock, efficiently use of resources, and being environmentally sustainable. To help overcome these challenges, remote and real-time ...
• Flexible electrode based on gold nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide for uric acid detection using linear sweep voltammetry 

  Mazzara, Francesca; Patella, Bernardo; Ganci, Fabrizio; O'Riordan, Alan; Aiello, Giuseppe; Torino, Claudia; Vilasi, Antonio; Sunseri, Carmelo; Inguanta, Rosalinda (Italian Association of Chemical Engineering, 2021)

  In this work, an electrochemical sensor for uric acid determination is shown with a preliminary study for its validation in real samples (milk and urine). Uric acid can be electrochemically oxidized in aqueous solutions ...
