Nanocrystalline Low-Refractive Magnesium Fluoride Films Deposited by Reactive Magnetron Sputtering: Optical and Structural Properties

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Paul Muralt, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Stefan Mertin

In this work, we study MgF2 thin-film synthesis by reactive pulsed DC magnetron sputtering from a metallic magnesium target in a gas mixture of argon, oxygen, and carbon tetrafluoride (CF4). Nanocrystalline films on silicon and glass substrates with excell ...

FIRST NuSTAR OBSERVATIONS OF MRK 501 WITHIN A RADIO TO TeV MULTI-INSTRUMENT CAMPAIGN

Xin Chen, Thomas Günther Bretz

We report on simultaneous broadband observations of the TeV-emitting blazar Markarian 501 between 2013 April 1 and August 10, including the first detailed characterization of the synchrotron peak with Swift and NuSTAR. During the campaign, the nearby BL La ...

Grazing angle X-ray fluorescence from periodic structures on silicon and silica surfaces

Andreea Veronica Savu

Various 3-dimensional nano-scaled periodic structures with different configurations and periods deposited on the surface of silicon and silica substrates were investigated by means of the grazing incidence and grazing emission X-ray fluorescence techniques ...

Curved artificial compound-eyes for autonomous navigation

Ramon Pericet Camara

Natural compound-eyes consist of a large number of ommatidia that are arranged on curved surfaces and thus are able to detect signals from a wide field of view. We present an integrated artificial compound-eye sensor system with enhanced field of view of 1 ...

'Seeing' Atoms: The Crystallographic Revolution

Dieter Schwarzenbach

Laue's experiment in 1912 of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals led to one of the most influential discoveries in the history of science: the first determinations of crystal structures, NaCl and diamond in particular, by W. L. Bragg in 1913. For the fir ...

On Micro Optical Elements for Efficient Light Diffusion

Roland Andreas Bitterli

Efficient light management is one of the key issues in modern energy conversion systems, be it to collect optical power or to redistribute light generated by high power light emitters. This thesis touches mainly on the subject of efficient light redistribu ...

A sensitive x-ray phase contrast technique for rapid imaging using a single phase grid analyzer

Peter Modregger

Phase contrast x-ray imaging (PCXI) is a promising imaging modality, capable of sensitively differentiating soft tissue structures at high spatial resolution. However, high sensitivity often comes at the cost of a long exposure time or multiple exposures p ...

Optical and morphological characterisation of low refractive index materials for coatings on solar collector glazing

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, Marie Schaer, Stefan Mertin, Martin Joly, Estelle De Chambrier, Virginie Hody-Le Caër

Nanostructured coatings based on the elements Si, O, Mg, and F have been deposited as thin films by solegel dip-coating in a particle-free atmosphere. The refractive index of the prepared SiO2 and quaternary MgeFeSieO thin films has been determined from sp ...
