Theory-guided development of homogeneous catalysts for the reduction of CO2 to formate, formaldehyde, and methanol derivatives

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Matthew Wodrich, Shubhajit Das

The stepwise catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formic acid, formaldehyde, and methanol opens non-fossil pathways to important platform chemicals. The present article aims at identifying molecular control parameters to steer the selectivity to ...

Band alignment at the CaF2/Si(111) interface through advanced electronic structure calculations

Alfredo Pasquarello, Igor Reshetnyak, Thomas Bischoff

We determine the band alignment at the CaF2/Si(111) interface through various advanced electronic structure methods. This interface is experimentally well studied and serves as an ideal test case to examine the accuracy of theoretical schemes. We use both ...

Thermal Interface Material Enablement of Off-Board Two-Phase Cooling

John Richard Thome, Raffaele Luca Amalfi

Two-phase, refrigerant-based cooling offers significant promise for increasing heat densities and energy efficiencies of electronic components. One barrier to wide spread adoption of two-phase cooling solutions is preserving product features deemed essenti ...

Axisymmetric oscillations at L-H transitions in JET: M-mode

Nicola Vianello, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo

L to H transition studies at JET have revealed an n = 0, m = 1 magnetic oscillation starting immediately at the L to H transition (called M-mode for brevity). While the magnetic oscillation is present a weak ELM-less H-mode regime is obtained, with a clear ...

Plasma cleaning of beryllium coated mirrors

Cleaning systems of metallic first mirrors are needed in more than 20 optical diagnostic systems from ITER to avoid reflectivity losses. Currently, plasma sputtering is considered as one of the most promising techniques to remove deposits coming from the m ...

Hydrogen plasma treatment for improved conductivity in amorphous aluminum doped zinc tin oxide thin films

Christophe Ballif, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Monica Morales Masis, Sylvain Nicolay, Laura Ding, Fabien Paul Jacques Dauzou

Improving the conductivity of earth-abundant transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) remains an important challenge that will facilitate the replacement of indium-based TCOs. Here, we show that a hydrogen (H-2)-plasma post-deposition treatment improves the co ...

Low Temperature Hermetic Wafer Bonding and Microfabrication of Wall-Coated Alkali Vapor Cells for Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks

Rahel Strässle

The increasing demand for highly precise, yet compact and low power timing devices pushes the research in the field of chip scale atomic clocks (CSACs). At the heart of a CSAC, there is a vapor cell containing a few micrograms of alkali metal, such as rubi ...

Design and construction of a portable whole-cell living bacterial biosensor for the detection of arsenic in water

Nina Buffi

Contamination of drinking water with arsenic is a recurring problem in both industrialized and developing countries. Supplies for large populations can have concentrations much higher than the permissible levels, set by the World Health Organization (WHO) ...

Integrated packaging solutions and hotplates for a miniature atomic clock and other microsystems

Fabrizio Vecchio

This thesis aimed at developing innovative packaging solutions for a miniature atomic clock and other microsystems in the cm-scale, i.e. somewhat larger than what is practical for full "chip-scale" device-package integration using clean-room technologies f ...

How are small endohedral silicon clusters stabilized?

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Fabrice Avaltroni

Clusters in the (Be, B, C)@Si-n((0,1,2+)) (n = 6-10) series, isoelectronic to Si-n(2-), present multiple symmetric structures, including rings, cages and open structures, which the doping atom stabilizes using contrasting bonding mechanisms. The most strik ...
