Long decay length of magnon-polarons in BiFeO3/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 heterostructures

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Dirk Grundler, Peng Gao, Haiming Yu, Mohammad Hamdi

Magnons can transfer information in metals and insulators without Joule heating, and therefore are promising for low-power computation. The on-chip magnonics however suffers from high losses due to limited magnon decay length. In metallic thin films, it is ...

A High Efficiency Pneumatic Drive System Using Vane-Type Semi-Rotary Actuators

A compressed air driven generator is proposed, where the pneumatic energy is converted into mechanical energy using two vane-type rotational actuators. The use of a second actuator with a higher displacement in order to produce a thermodynamic expansion al ...

State selective cooling of SU(N) Fermi gases

Frédéric Mila, Miklos Lajko

We investigate a species selective cooling process of a trapped SU(N) Fermi gas using entropy redistribution during adiabatic loading of an optical lattice. Using high-temperature expansion of the Hubbard model, we show that when a subset N-A < N of the si ...

Meso-scale finite element modeling of Alkali-Silica-Reaction

Jean-François Molinari, Emil Gallyamov, Roozbeh Rezakhani

The Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) in concrete is a chemical reaction, which produces an expansive product, generally called “ASR gel”, and causes cracking and damage in concrete over time. Affecting numerous infrastructures all around the world, ASR has bee ...

Influence of Joule Effect Heating on Recrystallization Phenomena in Inconel 718

Roland Logé, Mathijs Pieter van der Meer

In this article, the Joule effect heating influence on recrystallization phenomena in the Inconel 718 nickel-based superalloy is investigated in details. On the one hand, static recrystallization kinetic studies at 1020 degrees C after cold deformation up ...

Simulation and experimental validation of pulsating heat pipes

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Philippe Aubin, Filippo Cataldo

The one-dimensional transient numerical code of JJ Cooling Innovation has been significantly improved to simulate the thermal/hydraulic performance of pulsating heat pipes (PHPs). Using a mechanistic approach, the liquid slug and vapor plug flows and their ...

Thermoelasticity of Flexible Organic Crystals from Quasi-harmonic Lattice Dynamics: The Case of Copper(II) Acetylacetonate

Berend Smit, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Daniele Ongari

A computationally affordable approach, based on quasi-harmonic lattice dynamics, is presented for the quantum-mechanical calculation of thermoelastic moduli of flexible, stimuli-responsive, organic crystals. The methodology relies on the simultaneous descr ...

Overcritical Current Resistivity of YBCO-Coated Conductors Through Combination of PCM and Finite-Element Analysis

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

Understanding the electro-thermal behavior of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) materials is a critical aspect for designing efficient and reliable applications. In order to optimize cost and performance, one needs to understand the role played by the ...

Parameters affecting thermal risk through a kinetic model under adiabatic condition: Application to liquid-liquid reaction system

Risk of thermal runaway for epoxidation is not negligible and should be analyzed and assessed. In industry, epoxidation of vegetable oils is carried out by the oxidation of Prileschajew, involving the in situ production of percarboxylic acid from hydrogen ...

Semi-analytical modelling of linear scan voltammetric responses for soluble-insoluble system: The case of metal deposition

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Sunny Isaïe Maye, Imene Atek

The absence of general theoretical models describing linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) or cyclic voltammetry (CV) responses for soluble-insoluble systems such as one-step electrodeposition reactions under quasi-reversible condition makes it difficult to extra ...

Quantum chemical studies of reactive species in water

Daniela Trogolo

In this thesis, quantum chemical methods have been applied to elucidate the thermodynamics and the kinetics of reactions involving reactive species in water. Due to their high reactivity in water, many transient species are difficult to study by experiment ...

Expansion and densification of cities: linking urban form to urban ecology

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

Despite much research on the ecological impacts of urbanization, we still do not know what development patterns are most effective in supporting ecological function. In particular, it is as yet unclear if compact urban forms are ecologically more favourabl ...

Role of high-order electromechanical coupling terms in thermodynamics of ferroelectric thin films

Alexander Tagantsev, Alexander Kvasov

Currently used methods for the description of thermodynamics of ferroelectric thin films (Landau theory or ab initio based Monte Carlo simulations) are based on an energy expansion in terms of internal degrees of freedom. It was shown that these methods ca ...
