Phase Noise Cancelling Phase Noise Loop (PLL)
Background Electronic devices that use clocks (e.g., smartphones, cars, GPS) require stability of timing reference signals. For wireless and wireline communications applications, short-term clock stability is an important factor, and long-term stability is less of a concern due to periodic synchronizations between the radio nodes. Short-term clock...

Electro-Thermo-Mechanical Characterization of Microscale Ti-6Al-4V Wires using an Innovative Experimental Method
Background Effective metal forming in the manufacture of commercial products requires that material properties after forming must be maintained or improved, and the metal forming steps must be cost-effective. Achieving both of these conditions is challenging because there is a trade-off between material performance and processing cost. Many current...

A new class of fast alkali ion conductor: Inorganic plastic crystals
Batteries operate by polarizing and transferring ions through liquid or molecular solvents. Recent developments have made use of organic cation salts in plastic crystalline states as solvents, in which lithium salts can be dissolved. These lithium salts are known as electrolytes. Unfortunately, they are associated with low conductivity. Other electrolytes...

Towards self-powered photo-electrochromic systems via cost effective integration of Metal-ZnS/ZnO Schottky junctions
There is a drive towards more energy efficient structures. Significant energy is used to cool structures, with an estimated 20-50% of heat absorption occurring from sunlight radiation through windows. Removing cooling loads from windows translates to a total estimated cost of almost $15 billion per year. A small fraction of these windows encompass energy-savings...
