Ag₂S–Ag Nanocomposites: A Bottom-Up Approach to Enhance Thermoelectric Power Factor at Near Room Temperature
Abstract: The intrinsic ductility, low toxicity, and naturally occurring abundance of silver sulphide (Ag₂S) have made it a potential thermoelectric material in recent years. However, high electrical resistance severely limits its practical application. Here, we present a thorough analysis of how metallic Ag nanoinclusions affect the structural, electrical, and thermoelectric characteristics of Ag₂S nanocomposites made using a simple bottom-up polyol approach. (Ag₂S)₁₋ₓAgₓ nanocomposites with an Ag content ranging from 0 to …

LQR-Based Optimal Control of Inverted Pendulum System with State Estimation and Stability Analysis
Abstract: The inverted pendulum on a cart is a canonical benchmark problem in control systems engineering, capturing the essential challenges of stabilizing an inherently unstable, underactuated, and nonlinear plant. Classical Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers, while widely employed in industrial practice, exhibit fundamental performance limitations when applied to such systems, primarily due to their inability to account for multivariable coupling, process noise, and the absence of a systematic optimization framework. This paper presents …
