Near-Field Thermal Radiation In Graphene-Based Systems, Hua Lin May 2022

Near-Field Thermal Radiation In Graphene-Based Systems, Hua Lin

Honors College

Radiative heat transfer between two media separated by a sub-wavelength distance (the dominant wavelength of thermal radiation at room temperature is around 10 m.) is referred to as near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT). Graphene was found to have one of the greatest levels of NFRHT [1]. Additionally, NFRHT of graphene can be modulated externally via application of a bias voltage to the material [1][2], thereby altering its Fermi energy level. As such, graphene is an ideal candidate for several applications such as NFRHT for thermal switching, nano-gap thermophotovoltaic waste heat recovery, and thermal rectification. Modulation ratios as large as 77.7274 …

The Good Family, James Hannigan

Honors College

The Good Family is a story following a group of seventeens in their historic and scrutinized ’68 Birth-Night Battalia. The characters, who have trained since as early as age twelve and as late as fourteen – with heavy combat training for up to a year and as little as six months, are well prepared by the Tokien system. Demonstrating their Link-worthy will be a challenge that none of them can fully imagine, as this year is the unveiling of a Tokien-engineered tech development that will undoubtedly change the course humanity rides in the closing of the 22nd century.
