in this paper, the effect of electric field on two-dimensional low reynolds air flow around an airfoil and variation of the forces acting on the airfoil is numerically investigated. the electric current and poisson’s equations are solved and the outcome is considered as a source term in the momentum equations. the energy equation is not considered due to its weak effect on the phenomena. the fi...

iii This dissertation is dedicated to two fantastic women:-my mother, for teaching me the value of education, and her endless support and encouragement and-my wife, for her tolerance and patience with such an imperfect husband, and her dedication to me and our children I dearly love you both! iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. A. Bruno Frazier, who has been the mos...

Electrical control of magnetic properties is crucial for device applications in the field of spintronics. Although the magnetic coercivity or anisotropy has been successfully controlled electrically in metals as well as in semiconductors, the electrical control of Curie temperature has been realized only in semiconductors at low temperature. Here, we demonstrate the room-temperature electrical ...

Electrical conduction in a quasi-one-dimensional polycrystalline metallic ring with a long electron phase coherence length realized at low temperature is investigated. In this situation, the wave nature of electrons is important in the ring, where the electrical current I can be induced by a vector potential that arises from a static magnetic field applied perpendicularly to the ring’s area. It...

Electrically driven resistance change in metal oxides opens up an interdisciplinary research field for next-generation non-volatile memory. Resistive switching exhibits an electrical polarity dependent "bipolar-switching" and a polarity independent "unipolar-switching", however tailoring the electrical polarity has been a challenging issue. Here we demonstrate a scaling effect on the emergence ...

The terahertz pulse energy from photoconductive antenna is mainly derived from that stored in the static bias field. To obtain high intense THz radiation, the distribution of electrical field in semi-insulating GaAs photoconductive antennas was studied at square DC bias voltage. Due to the trap-enhanced space-charge, the electrical field is enhanced at anode and extent to cathode. So the highes...

Electroencephalography (EEG) is used to obtain information about the electrical activity in the brain and is routinely used to diagnose neurological abnormalities. The inverse problem in EEG refers to the procedure of locating electrical sources in the brain from the extracranial electrical field measured on the scalp. The solution of the inverse problem requires the forward calculation of the ...
