Mapping of Chemical Heterogeneity at Surfaces with High-Throughput Wide-Field Second Harmonic Microscopy

Igor Nahálka

Many industrial processes are based on electrochemical reactions using engineered electrocatalysts. However, the current lack of theoretical knowledge obscures efforts to maximize catalysts' efficiency, and the optimization process is mostly empirical. To ...

Restriction of 3D arithmetic Laplace eigenfunctions to a plane

Riccardo Walter Maffucci

We consider a random Gaussian ensemble of Laplace eigenfunctions on the 3D torus, and investigate the 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure ('length') of nodal intersections against a smooth 2-dimensional toral sub-manifold ('surface'). A prior result of ours pr ...

Real-time observation of jumping and spinning nanodroplets

Marcel Drabbels, Ulrich Lorenz, Pavel Olshin, Jonathan Mark Voss

The manipulation of liquids at nanoscale dimensions is a central goal of the emergent nanofluidics field. Such endeavors extend to nanodroplets, which are ubiquitous objects involved in many technological applications. Here, we employ time-resolved electro ...

3D Boundary Element Simulation of Droplet Dynamics in Microchannels: How Droplets Squeeze Through Constrictions and Move in Electric Fields

Simon Sebastian Schütz

Flows of fluids with free surfaces show complex dynamical behavior. Examples include effects like capillary surface waves, topological transitions such as droplet breakup and coalescence, or pattern formation in wetting and de-wetting dynamics. These compl ...

System and Method for Defining Watertight and Locally Refinable Surfaces with Interpolatory Control Points

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Masih Nilchian

A method for creating a watertight boundary between two graphical elements including the steps of displaying a first surface having a first shape and a second surface having a second shape on the display, an open space existing between the first surface an ...
