7. Graphene spin circuits and spin-orbit phenomena in van der Waals heterostructures with topological insulators
Abstract : Spintronics offers an alternative approach to conventional charge-based information processing by using the electron spin for next-generation non-volatile memory and logic technologies. To realize such technologies, it is necessary to develop spin-polarized current sources, spin interconnects, charge-to-spin conversion processes, and gate-tunable spintronic functionalities.

8. Modelling of cathode-plasma interaction in short high-intensity electric arc : Application to Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
Abstract : In arc welding the quality of the weld is strongly influenced by the thermal history of the workpiece which is itself governed by the electric arc heat source. The models for predicting weld properties thus need a good evaluation of the distribution of the heat input from thearc to the workpiece. READ MORE

9. Atom Probe Tomography of Hydrogen and of Grain Boundaries in Corroded Zircaloy-2
Abstract : Due to their low thermal neutron capture cross-section, zirconium alloys are widely used in the nuclear industry for fuel cladding and structural components. The lifetime of the fuel assemblies in the reactors are largely dictated by the ability of the fuel cladding to withstand corrosion and mechanical damage. READ MORE

10. Nitride Thin Films for Thermoelectric Applications : Synthesis, Characterization and Theoretical Predictions
Abstract : Thermoelectrics is the reversible process which transforms a temperature gradient across a material into an external voltage through a phenomenon known as the Seebeck effect. This has resulted in niche applications such as solid-state cooling for electronic and optoelectronic devices which exclude the need for a coolant or any moving parts and long-lasting, maintenance-free radioisotope thermoelectric generators used for deep-space exploration.
