Single Chiral Skyrmions in Ultrathin Magnetic Films
(MDPI, 2018-11-11)
The stability and sizes of chiral skyrmions in ultrathin magnetic films are calculated accounting for the isotropic exchange, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange interaction (DMI), and out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy within ...
State of the Art and Trends Review of Smart Metering in Electricity Grids
(MDPI, 2016-03)
Climate change, awareness of energy efficiency, new trends in electricity markets, the obsolescence of the actual electricity model, and the gradual conversion of consumers to prosumer profiles are the main agents of ...
Mechanical, Electrical and Magnetic Properties of Ferrogels with Embedded Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Obtained by Laser Target Evaporation: Focus on Multifunctional Biosensor Applications
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Hydrogels are biomimetic materials widely used in the area of biomedical engineering and biosensing. Ferrogels (FG) are magnetic composites capable of functioning as magnetic field sensitive transformers and field assisted ...
Racetrack potentials and the de Sitter swampland conjectures
(Springer, 2019-01)
We show that one can find de Sitter critical points (saddle points) in models of flux compactification of Type IIB String Theory without any uplifting terms and in the presence of several moduli. We demonstrate this by ...
On Some Sufficiency-Type Stability and Linear State-Feedback Stabilization Conditions for a Class of Multirate Discrete-Time Systems
(MDPI, 2018-05)
This paper presents and discusses the stability of a discrete multirate sampling system whose sets of sampling rates (or sampling periods) are the integer multiple of those operating on all the preceding substates. Each ...
Waterborne Acrylate-Based Hybrid Coatings with Enhanced Resistance Properties on Stone Surfaces
(MDPI, 2018-08)
The application of coating polymers to building materials is a simple and cheap way to preserve and protect surfaces from weathering phenomena. Due to its environmentally friendly character, waterborne coating is the most ...
Polyacrylamide Ferrogels with Magnetite or Strontium Hexaferrite: Next Step in the Development of Soft Biomimetic Matter for Biosensor Applications
(MDPI, 2018-01-16)
Magnetic biosensors are an important part of biomedical applications of magnetic materials. As the living tissue is basically a " soft matter." this study addresses the development of ferrogels (FG) with micron sized ...
Permalloy-Based Thin Film Structures: Magnetic Properties and the Giant Magnetoimpedance Effect in the Temperature Range Important for Biomedical Applications
(MDPI, 2017-08-17)
Permalloy-based thin film structures are excellent materials for sensor applications. Temperature dependencies of the magnetic properties and giant magneto-impedance (GMI) were studied for Fe19Ni81-based multilayered ...
Transparent Glass-Ceramics Produced by Sol-Gel: A Suitable Alternative for Photonic Materials
(MDPI, 2018-01-30)
Transparent glass-ceramics have shown interesting optical properties for several photonic applications. In particular, compositions based on oxide glass matrices with fluoride crystals embedded inside, known as oxyfluoride ...
Human Early Life Exposome (HELIX) study: a European population-based exposome cohort
(BMJ, 2018-09)
Purpose Essential to exposome research is the collection of data on many environmental exposures from different domains in the same subjects. The aim of the Human Early Life Exposome (HELIX) study was to measure and describe ...
