Asymmetrical resonant cavity thin film devices designed for vanadium dioxide applications

Abstract

In this paper, Vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin-film devices with two different use cases have been redesigned to introduce an asymmetrical resonant cavity structure. The structure is designed with the goal of enhancing the optical performance of the central VO2 layer and has an anti-reflection property in the cold state. The advantages and limitations of such a design are discussed.

Objective

ปัจจุบันมีงานวิจัยเพื่อออกแบบอุปกรณ์ฟิล์มบางทางแสงเป็นจำนวนมาก เราสามารถใช้คุณสมบัติของวัสดุเปลี่ยนเฟส (PCMs) เพื่อออกแบบอุปกรณ์ที่ทำงานได้สองโหมด อีกทั้งยังมีการออกแบบฟิล์มบางให้มีโครงสร้างเป็นช่องสั่นพ้องเพื่อเพิ่มประสิทธิภาพและปรับย่านการทำงานให้เหมาะสม แต่วิธีการออกแบบช่องสั่นพ้องปกติไม่สามารถใช้ได้กับวัสดุเปลี่ยนเฟส งานวิจัยนี้จะเป็นการเปรียบเทียบวิธีการออกแบบช่องสั่นพ้องที่ไม่สมมาตรเพื่อแก้ปัญหาข้างต้น โดยจะเทียบกับวิธีปกติของอุปกรณ์ฟิล์มบางในงานวิจัยที่มีอยู่ โดยแสดงถึงข้อดีและข้อจำกัดของวิธีการออกแบบใหม่นี้

Development of Carbon Nanofiber Composite Materials for Supercapacitors in Energy Storage

This study presents the development of carbon-based multiphase metal oxide nanocomposites (CNF@MOx; M = Ag, Mn, Bi, Fe) incorporating silver, manganese, bismuth, and iron nanoparticles within polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-derived carbon nanofibers. These nanocomposites were fabricated via the electrospinning technique followed by annealing in an argon atmosphere. The resulting nanofibers exhibited a uniform structure, with diameters ranging from 559 to 830 nm and embedded nanoparticles of 9-21 nm. Structural characterization confirmed the presence of various oxidation states of metal oxides, which play a crucial role in charge storage mechanisms. Electrochemical performance testing demonstrated that CNF@Ag/Mn/Bi/Fe-20 achieved the highest specific capacitance of 156 F g⁻¹ at a scan rate of 2 mV s⁻¹ and exhibited excellent cycling stability, retaining over 96% of its capacitance after 1400 charge-discharge cycles. The synergistic combination of electric double-layer capacitance and redox-based charge storage enhances the performance of these nanofibers as promising electrode materials for supercapacitor applications.

Metaverse Ho Klong For tourism in Phitsanulok Province

This research project aims to study and develop a metaverse system for tourism in Horklong Subdistrict, Phitsanulok Province. The primary goal is to create a prototype metaverse system that showcases the cultural and historical tourist attractions in Horklong Subdistrict through virtual reality technology. This will help promote tourism in rural areas that are not yet widely known and enhance the modern promotion of tourist attractions in the province. The development of the metaverse system in this project utilizes virtual reality technology to simulate the experience of touring Horklong Subdistrict via a virtual boat ride. Users will be able to access the system through the Unity platform, which is a tool used to develop 3D and VR applications. The system is designed to allow users to choose to ride a virtual boat and visit various places that have been creatively recreated in a virtual format. These locations are designed and developed using 3D models based on real data collected from the Horklong Subdistrict area. This project is therefore an initiative to sustainably promote cultural and historical tourism in Phitsanulok Province. It has the potential to increase income for local communities as well as to disseminate local knowledge and wisdom to a broader audience. The metaverse system for tourism in Horklong Subdistrict is thus an important project in modernizing the province’s tourism sector and attracting more visitors, both domestically and internationally.

Designed Quality coffee from fermentation

Coffee is a critical agricultural commodity to be used to produce a premium beverage to serve people worldwide. Coffee microbiome turned to be an essential tool to improve the bean quality through the natural fermentation. Therefore, understanding the microbial diversities could create the final product's better quality. This study investigated the natural microbial consortium during the wet process fermentation of coffee onsite in Thailand to characterize the microorganisms involved in correlation toward the biochemical characteristics and metabolic attributes. Roasting is another important step in developing the complex flavor/ aroma that make coffee to be enjoyable. During the roasting process, the beans undergo many complex and alternatively change in the physicochemical properties from the gained substances in the fermentation process. The changing in the formation of the substances responsible for the sensory qualities, physicochemical/ aroma attributes as well as the health benefits of the final product. Using the starter culture could also develop the distinguished characteristics of coffee (Research collaboration with Van Hart company)
