    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes dispersing a plurality of particles in a solution to form a dispersion; and adding a stabilizing agent to the dispersion in an amount sufficient to cause the dispersion to exhibit one or more predetermined rheological properties, wherein the particles are characterized by a core-shell configuration, wherein the core-shell configuration includes a core formed from a first material and a shell formed from a second material, wherein the first material and the second material form a combustible composition and/or a reactive binary composition that is configured to complete a self-propagating reaction and/or a self-sustaining reaction upon initiation thereof. Corresponding materials, and methods of using such materials, are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Devices, methods and techniques are disclosed to interrupt a fault current in a high-voltage direct-current circuit. In one example aspect, a device includes a mechanical switch including a pair of contacts configured to be positioned apart upon activation of the circuit breaker, and a photoconductive component connected in parallel with the mechanical switch. The photoconductive component is configured to establish a current upon activation of the circuit breaker. The photoconductive component comprises a crystalline material positioned to receive a pulsed light signal from a laser light source, and a pair of electrodes coupled to the crystalline material and configured to allow an electric field to be established across the crystalline material to generate the current.
