Simulation of Phonon Thermalization in a Single-photon Detector on the Basis of CeB6 Thermoelectric Sensor

Kuzanyan A.A., Kuzanyan V.R. Nikoghosyan A.S., Kuzanyan A.A., Kuzanyan V.R. Nikoghosyan A.S., Institute for Physical Research, Armenian Academy of Science, AM

Interest in single-photon detectors (SPD) has recently increased dramatically, due to many novel applications. The most developed SPD are currently based on superconductors. Following the theory, thermoelectric detectors (TSPS) can compete with superconducting detectors. The [...]

Pulsed Laser Deposition: From the Laboratory to the Industry

Kuzanyan A.A., Kuzanyan A.S., Kuzanyan A.A., Kuzanyan A.S., Institute for Physical Research, Armenian Academy of Science, AM

Simple and inexpensive methods of obtaining large area uniform in thickness and composition thin films on large and very large substrates through pulsed laser deposition (PLD) have been proposed. Also a method of creating a [...]

Multi-layer Thermal Barrier Coating of a New Architecture

Kuzanyan A.A., Kuzanyan A.S., Petrosyan A.G., Petrosyan S.I., Kuzanyan A.A., Kuzanyan A.S., Petrosyan A.G., Petrosyan S.I., Stathopoulos V., Institute for Physical Research, National Academy of Sciences, AM

Thermal barrier coating (TBC) provide a thermal and corrosion insulation layer able to decrease thermal loads on the surface of major operating metallic parts of gas turbines. Advanced thermal barrier coating systems have the following [...]

Optimal Design and Use of PV Water Pumping Systems in Armenia

Ayvazyan G., Buniatyan V., Vardanyan A., State Engineering University of Armenia, AM

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems find a large market in the developing countries in Asia, Middle East and Africa. Most of these areas are characterized by solar energy availability over a large part of the year. [...]

Co-simulation and Optimization Micro Electro Mechanical Systems by Using Method of Theoretical Investigation

Mkrttchian V., State Engineering University of Armenia, AM

Before elaboration and designing of micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) it is very important to carry out an appropriate computer modeling for analyzing and optimizing. To describe adequately the physical phenomenon talking place in MEMS it [...]
