Sub-nanosecond polarization switching with anomalous kinetics in vdW ferroelectric WTe2
Characterizations of ferroelectricity in WTe2
WTe2 exhibits various crystal structures, such as 2H, 1T’, and Td. In the Td phase (Td-WTe2, space group Pnm21), the tungsten (W) atoms are surrounded by octahedra formed by…

Numerical analysis of ski suits surface roughness effects on aerodynamics during the in-run phase of ski jumping
3D jumper models
To conduct aerodynamic simulations, a three-dimensional geometric model of the athlete–ski system during the straight-line descent of the in-run phase was established. The model was constructed using anthropometric data obtained…
