Controlling Light in Scattering Materials for Volumetric Additive Manufacturing

Christophe Moser, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Paul Delrot, Jorge Andres Madrid Wolff, Antoine Vincent Boniface

3D printing has revolutionized the manufacturing of volumetric components and structures in many areas. Several fully volumetric light-based techniques have been recently developed thanks to the advent of photocurable resins, promising to reach unprecedent ...

Importance of 3D radiative transfer effects on high-resolution NO2 remote sensing in cities

Marc Damien Schwärzel

Urban air quality is a major concern in the context of human health since cities are at the same time emission hot spots and home to a large fraction of the world's population. Airborne imaging spectrometers may be a valuable addition to traditional air po ...

Atom-surface van der Waals potentials of topological insulators and semimetals from scattering measurements

Davide Campi

The phenomenology of resonant scattering has been known since the earliest experiments upon scattering of atomic beams from surfaces and is a means of obtaining experimental information about the fundamentals of weak adsorption systems in the van der Waals ...

Effect of collisions on non-adiabatic electron dynamics in ITG-driven microturbulence

Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball

Non-adiabatic electron response leads to significant changes in ion temperature gradient (ITG) eigenmodes, leading, in particular, to fine-structures that are significantly extended along the magnetic field lines at corresponding mode rational surfaces (MR ...

Remote Doping of Scalable Nanowire Branches

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Wonjong Kim, Martin George Friedl, Lucas Güniat, Didem Dede, Nicholas Paul Morgan

Selective-area epitaxy provides a path toward high crystal quality, scalable, complex nanowire networks. These high-quality networks could be used in topological quantum computing as well as in ultrafast photodetection schemes. Control of the carrier densi ...

Hot-Hole versus Hot-Electron Transport at Cu/GaN Heterojunction Interfaces

Giulia Tagliabue

Among all plasmonic metals, copper (Cu) has the greatest potential for realizing optoelectronic and photochemical hot-carrier devices, thanks to its CMOS compatibility and outstanding catalytic properties. Yet, relative to gold (Au) or silver (Ag), Cu has ...

Tomographic imaging with harmonic holography in tissues of known refractive index distribution

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu

High-resolution imaging in thick biological tissues beyond a few transport mean free path of photons remains a formidable challenge to modern science and technology. Recent advancements in optical tomography have enabled the reconstruction of the three-dim ...

Velocity alignment promotes motility-induced phase separation

We study the phase behavior of polar active Brownian particles moving in two-spatial dimensions and interacting through volume exclusion and velocity alignment. We combine particle-based simulations of the microscopic model with a simple mean-field kinetic ...

Polystyrene CuO/Cu2O uniform films inducing MB-degradation under sunlight

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

This study reports on a Cu-sputtered film on polystyrene (PS) leading to the discoloration/degradation of methylene blue (MB) under low intensity solar simulated irradiation. Direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) was used to graft uniform, adhesive Cu ...

Boltzmann Transport in Nanostructures as a Friction Effect

Nicola Marzari, Andrea Cepellotti

Surface scattering is the key limiting factor to thermal transport in dielectric crystals as the length scales are reduced or when temperature is lowered. To explain this phenomenon, it is commonly assumed that the mean free paths of heat carriers are boun ...

Impact of neutral density fluctuations on gas puff imaging diagnostics

Paolo Ricci, Christoph Wersal

A three-dimensional turbulence simulation of the SOL and edge regions of a toroidally limited tokamak is carried out. The simulation couples self-consistently the drift-reduced two-fluid Braginskii equations to a kinetic equation for neutral atoms. A diagn ...

A New Perspective in the Use of FeOx-TiO2 Photocatalytic Films: Indole Degradation in the Absence of Fe-Leaching

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

The study addresses the degradation of Indole under low intensity solar simulated light. The first evidence is presented for sputtered films degrading Indole at the solid-air interface. The co-sputtering of FeOx-TiO2 on polyethylene (PE) leads to an accele ...

Thermal Transport in Crystals as a Kinetic Theory of Relaxons

Nicola Marzari, Andrea Cepellotti

Thermal conductivity in dielectric crystals is the result of the relaxation of lattice vibrations described by the phonon Boltzmann transport equation. Remarkably, an exact microscopic definition of the heat carriers and their relaxation times is still mis ...

GaAs nanowires: from doping to plasmonic hybrid devices

Alberto Casadei

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) are filamentary crystals with the diameter ranging from few tens up to few hundreds of nanometers. In the last 20 years, they have been intensively studied for the prospects that their unique quasi-one dimensional shape offers ...

Room-Temperature Ballistic Transport in III-Nitride Heterostructures

Elison de Nazareth Matioli

Room-temperature (RT) ballistic transport of electrons is experimentally observed and theoretically investigated in III-nitrides. This has been largely investigated at low temperatures in low band gap III-V materials due to their high electron mobilities. ...

Polaritonic Feshbach resonance

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Marcia Portella Oberli, Stéphane Trebaol, Naotomo Takemura

A Feshbach resonance occurs when the energy of two interacting free particles comes into resonance with a molecular bound state. When approaching this resonance, marked changes in the interaction strength between the particles can arise. Feshbach resonance ...

First-Principles Determination of Phonon Lifetimes, Mean Free Paths, and Thermal Conductivities in Crystalline Materials: Pure Silicon and Germanium

Nicola Marzari

The thermal properties of insulating, crystalline materials are essentially determined by their phonon dispersions, the finite-temperature excitations of their phonon populations-treated as a Bose-Einstein gas of harmonic oscillators-and the lifetimes of t ...
