Engineering of light confinement in strongly scattering disordered media

Laurent Balet

Disordered photonic materials can diffuse and localize light through random multiple scattering, offering opportunities to study mesoscopic phenomena, control light-matter interactions, and provide new strategies for photonic applications. Light transport ...

Soft Cell Simulator: A tool to study Soft Multi-Cellular Robots

Dario Floreano, Andrea Maesani, Jürg Markus Germann

Modular or multi-cellular robots hold the promise to adapt their morphology to task and environment. However, research in modular robotics has traditionally been limited to mechanically non-adaptive systems due to hard building blocks and rigid connection ...

Broadband Dielectric Response in Hard and Soft PZT : Understanding Softening and Hardening Mechanisms

Li Jin

Lead zirconate titanate (Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3 or PZT) ferroelectric ceramics have been widely used in transducers, actuators, and sensors, since they posses high dielectric and piezoelectric properties with a relatively high temperature of operation. Commerciall ...

Planar photonic crystals infiltrated with liquid crystals: optical characterization of molecule orientation

Romuald Houdré, Rolando Ferrini, Libero Zuppiroli, Liza Carol Andrea Dunbar, Barbara Wild, Vasily Zabelin

Nematic liquid crystals are infiltrated into InP-based planar photonic crystals. Optical measurements as a function of temperature and polarization are used to study the average director field configuration in the nanometer-size holes: a planar equilibrium ...

Softening and hardening transitions in ferroelectric Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 ceramics

Hysteretic and nonlinear dielectric behaviour in ferroelectric ceramics has been of interest since 1950s, when these materials found application in various electronic devices. Presently, these phenomena concern with important areas of science, technology a ...
