The impact of semiconductor surface states on vacuum field emission
(AIP Publishing, 2022-10-26)This work presents a theoretical analysis of the impact of surface states on vacuum field emission currents in semiconductors. In wide and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors such as GaN and AlGaN, low electron affinity has ... -
A robust computational approach to Lees–Dorodnitsyn laminar hypersonic boundary layers with temperature-dependent properties
(AIP Publishing, 2022-10-03)The Lees–Dorodnitsyn (L–D) boundary layer equations for two-dimensional, non-reactive, laminar, hypersonic, boundary layer flows, and an assumption of an isentropic external flow are examined. They are applied to various ... -
Plasmas for in situ resource utilization on Mars: Fuels, life support, and agriculture
(AIP Publishing, 2022-08-16)This work discusses the potential of combining non-thermal plasmas and conducting membranes for in situ resource utilization (ISRU) on Mars. By converting different molecules directly from the Martian atmosphere, plasmas ...
