Optothermal shaping of lamb waves with square and spiral phase fronts

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Aleksi Antoine Bossart, Janez Rus

We introduce a Lamb-wave medium with tunable propagation velocities, which are controlled by a two-dimensional heating pattern produced by a laser beam. We utilized it to demonstrate that waves in an appropriately designed medium can propagate in the form ...

Dipole-Fed Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antennas for Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 7 T: The Impact of Quasi-Transverse Electric Modes on Transmit Field Distribution

Rolf Gruetter, Daniel Wenz

Shortened dipole antennas based on rectangular dielectric blocks play an important role in ultrahigh field magnetic resonance imaging (UHF-MRI) radio frequency (RF) coil design. However, the generally assumed direct contact with the subject is difficult to ...

Unconventional time-bandwidth performance of resonant cavities with nonreciprocal coupling

Camille Sophie Brès, Davide Grassani, Ivan Cardea, Kosmas Tsakmakidis

The time-bandwidth limit is a mathematical tenet that affects all reciprocal resonators, stating that the product of the spectral bandwidth that can couple into a resonant system and its characteristic energy decay time is always equal to 1. Here, we devel ...

Optimization Method for Extracting Stabilizer Geometry and Properties of REBCO Tapes

Bertrand Dutoit, Bertrand Dutoit, Francesco Grilli, Arooj Akbar, Nicolo' Riva

A good knowledge of material properties is a critical aspect for modeling high-temperature superconductor (HTS) devices. However, the electrical resistivity of coated conductors above the critical current is limited. The major challenge in characterizing t ...

Electromagnetic waves under nonstationary conditions, the connection with parity-time symmetry and studies on resonant systems

Theodoros Koutserimpas

In this thesis, the electromagnetic wave propagation is studied in nonstationary-medium scenarios. The electromagnetic fields under material time-modulation are shown to conserve their momentum but not their energy. The mathematical foundations and analysi ...

The probability of intransitivity in dice and close elections

Jan Hazla

We study the phenomenon of intransitivity in models of dice and voting. First, we follow a recent thread of research for n-sided dice with pairwise ordering induced by the probability, relative to 1/2, that a throw from one die is higher than the other. We ...

The fourth moment of individual Dirichlet L-functions on the critical line

Berke Topacogullari

We prove an asymptotic formula for the second moment of a product of two Dirichlet L-functions on the critical line, which has a power saving in the error term and which is uniform with respect to the involved Dirichlet characters. As special cases we give ...
