Wind slab formation in snow: experimental setup and first results

Michael Lehning, Christian Gabriel Sommer, Charles Fierz

Geophys . Res. Abstr. 18: EGU2016‐11274. The formation of wind-hardened surface layers, also known as wind slabs or wind crusts, is studied. Better knowledge about which processes and parameters are important will lead to an improved understanding of the m ...

Ultrafast Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Liquid Samples

José Javier Pancracio Ojeda Andara

This thesis focuses on the commissioning and characterization of HARMONIUM, an ultrafast tunable EUV source based on high-harmonic generation for performing photoelectron spectroscopy of liquids. In ultrafast photoelectron spectroscopy a short pump pulse i ...

Contact angle and adsorption energies of nanoparticles at the air-liquid interface determined by neutron reflectivity and molecular dynamics

Francesco Stellacci, Javier Reguera Gomez, Mauro Moglianetti, Evgeniy Ponomarev

Understanding how nanomaterials interact with interfaces is essential to control their self-assembly as well as their optical, electronic, and catalytic properties. We present here an experimental approach based on neutron reflectivity (NR) that allows the ...

Cell Shape Dynamics Reveal Balance of Elasticity and Contractility in Peripheral Arcs

Jean-Jacques Meister, Alexander Verkhovskiy, Chiara Gabella, Benoît Vianay, Céline Jeanne Labouesse

The mechanical interaction between adherent cells and their substrate relies on the formation of adhesion sites and on the stabilization of contractile acto-myosin bundles, or stress fibers. The shape of the cell and the orientation of these fibers can be ...

Magnesium interatomic potential for simulating plasticity and fracture phenomena

William Curtin, Michael Frederick Francis

Magnesium has multiple dislocation and twinning systems with starkly different properties, which make its plastic deformation strongly anisotropic and highly complex. Existing empirical interatomic potentials fail to capture the full scope of these propert ...

Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Calculations versus Quantum-State- Resolved Experiments on CHD3 + Pt(111): New Insights into a Prototypical Gas−Surface Reaction

Rainer Beck, Hirokazu Ueta, Maarten Eduard van Reijzen, Helen Jane Chadwick, Francesco Nattino

The dissociative chemisorption of methane on metal surfaces is of fundamental and practical interest, being a rate-limiting step in the steam reforming process. The reaction is best modeled with quantum dynamics calculations, but these are currently not gu ...
