MXene-based multilayered and ultrawideband absorber for solar cell and photovoltaic applications by Jusu M. Ngobeh, Vishal Sorathiya, Abdullah Alwabli, Amar Y. Jaffar, Osama S. Faragallah

“…Abstract We proposed the ultrawideband solar absorber using the multisized metal resonator oriented on the top of the multilayered Metal-SiO₂-MXene-MgF₂-Tungsten structure. We have carried out a numerical investigation of this structure for the 100–2500 THz frequency, which covers the infrared, visible, and UV spectra. …”

High-Q Fabry-Pérot Cavity Based on Micro-Lens Array for Refractive Index Sensing by Qi Wang, Xuyang Zhao, Man Luo, Yuxiang Li, Junjie Liu, Xiang Wu

“…In this work, we presented a novel approach that utilized the soft lithography and imprinting technology to incorporate the convex micro-lens array structure into the FP (FP-lens) cavity. A strong mode-profile restriction of the micro-lens simultaneously reduced the mode volume and enhanced the Q factor, exhibiting high tolerance to non-parallelism of mirrors compared with that of the plane-plane FP (PP-FP) microcavities. …”

Failure Analysis and Optimization Design of Wing Skin Unbalanced Lay-Up by Junli Wang, Jinyang Li

“…To clarify the influence of the unbalanced coefficient and the change in lay-up angle on the failure characteristics of the laminate in the static aeroelastic problem of the aircraft, numerical simulations were performed based on the classical laminate theory and the Tsai-Wu failure criterion, as well as the fluid-structure coupling calculation method. The structure’s stress-strain and failure curves are found to decrease as the unbalanced coefficient increases. …”
