Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Magnonics addresses the physical properties of spin waves and utilizes them for data processing. Scalability down to atomic dimensions, operation in the GHz-to-THz frequency range, utilization of nonlinear and nonreciprocal phenomena, and compatibility with CMOS are just a few of many advantages offered by magnons. Although magnonics is still primarily positioned in the academic domain, the scientific and technological challenges of the field are being extensively investigated, and many proof-of-concept prototypes have already been realized in laboratories. This roadmap is a product of the collective work of many authors that covers versatile spin-wave computing approaches, conceptual building blocks, and underlying physical phenomena. In particular, the roadmap discusses the computation operations with Boolean digital data, unconventional approaches like neuromorphic computing, and the progress towards magnon-based quantum computing. The article is organized as a collection of sub-sections grouped into seven large thematic sections. Each sub-section is prepared by one or a group of authors and concludes with a brief description of current challenges and the outlook of further development for each research direction. Author

Evaporation of WO3 on Carbon Nanotube Films : a new hybrid film

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Hybrid WO3-CNT ( carbon nanotube) films were prepared in two steps: in the first step, the drop coating method was employed for coating silicon substrates with a MWCNT (multiwalled CNT) film prepared with oxygen plasma functionalized MWCNTs; in the second step, a layer of WO3 nanoparticles was deposited over the MWCNT film by using an advanced gas deposition unit. The WO3 nanoparticles are formed by condensation. SEM images show that the morphology of the hybrid films is characterized by an overlayer formed from WO3 particles anchored at the surface of a well-dispersed MWCNT underlayer. TEM images show that the hybrid films are composed of a WO3 matrix supported through a dispersed mesh of CNTs-the CNTs act as internal pillars. This morphology increases the surface area for gas interaction.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The present study aims to evaluate surface roughness and color stability of lithium disilicate and leucite ceramics after conventional and a novel surface finish techniques. Ceramic blocks (n = 84) of lithium disilicate and leucite were prepared and divided into 3 groups, being group 1: polished ceramic (negative control) (NC); group 2: stained (pigmented) ceramic followed by glaze (positive control) (PC) and group 3: simultaneous application of staining and glaze (experimental technique) (ET). Changes in luminosity and surface roughness were evaluated at 4 different time-points after a simulated brushing cycling test. Multivariate test results showed that there was a triple interaction effect between applied material, finish technique and time on their average roughness (p < 0.001) and luminosity (p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the mean roughness considering NC and ET groups for the leucite and lithium disilicate ceramics, but there was an increase in roughness mean at t1 for the PC and ET groups. Considering luminosity (materials vs. time), there was a statistically significant difference in leucite PC group. The NC and ET groups did not differ statistically from each other. There was a luminosity reduction in NC lithium disilicate ceramics for PC and NC groups. Also, analysis of color variation (Delta E) revealed significant differences for disilicate but not for the leucite groups. In leucite-based ceramic groups, surface roughness showed intermediate values between ET and the other groups at all times. Correlation analysis between roughness and luminosity presented significant results for leucite (r = 0.331; p < 0.001) and non-significant for lithium disilicate groups (r = 0.068; p > 0.05). Results suggested the possible application of the experimental technique (ET) for reduction of clinical time compared to conventional techniques, by the use of less ceramic firing cycles, with no prejudice in terms of surface roughness and luminosity over the studied time.

Highly Selective NO2 Gas Sensors made of MWCNTs and WO3 Hybrid Layers
- 2007

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Hybrid gas sensors were fabricated by means of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) covered by W O3 deposited by an advanced reactive gas deposition method. In order to increase the dispersion of nanotubes and attach functional groups to their surface so as to enhance their compatibility with other compounds, the MWCNTs were functionalized in two different radio-frequency plasmas (oxygen or hydrogen) under different operating conditions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy were employed to analyze the composition and morphology of the hybrid films. Gas sensors based on such films were found to be very selective to N O2 when operated at room temperature. No cross-sensitivity was found to other hazardous gases such as N H3 or CO.
