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 ...

Thermal transport in low dimensions

Andrea Cepellotti

Lattice vibrations are the microscopic mechanism responsible for a large, if not dominant, contribution to heat transport in crystalline insulators. These vibrations are described in terms of phonons, collective excitations (or quasiparticles) in the form ...

Processing and damage recovery of intrinsic self-healing glass fiber reinforced composites

Véronique Michaud, Federica Sordo

Glass fiber reinforced composites with a self-healing, supramolecular hybrid network matrix were produced using a modified vacuum assisted resin infusion moulding process adapted to high temperature processing. The quality and fiber volume fraction (50%) o ...

Symmetry breaking in hexagonal and cubic polymorphs of BaTiO3

Dragan Damjanovic, Alberto Biancoli

BaTiO3 appears in cubic and hexagonal variants, both of which are centrosymmetric. Samples of cubic BaTiO3 are known to exhibit breaking of the centric symmetry locally and globally. It has been proposed that the local symmetry breaking originates in polar ...

Room-Temperature Decarboxylative Alkynylation of Carboxylic Acids Using Photoredox Catalysis and EBX Reagents

Jérôme Waser, Thibaut Christian Courant, Franck Le Vaillant

Alkynes are used as building blocks in synthetic and medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, and materials science. Therefore, efficient methods for their synthesis are the subject of intensive research. Herein, we report the direct synthesis of alkynes fro ...

Heat transfer monitoring between quenched high-temperature superconducting coated conductors and liquid nitrogen

Bertrand Dutoit, Bertrand Dutoit, Daniele Colangelo

High-temperature superconducting coated conductors (HTS-CCs) are good candidates for resistive superconducting fault current limiter (RSFCL) applications. However, the high current density they can carry and their low thermal diffusivity expose them to the ...

Integration of 2D and 3D Thin Film Glassy Carbon Electrode Arrays for Electrochemical Dopamine Sensing in Flexible Neuroelectronic Implants

Philippe Renaud, André Mercanzini, Jules John Vandersarl

Here we present the development and characterization of a flexible implantable neural probe with glassy carbon electrode arrays. The use of carbon electrodes allows for these devices to be used as chemical sensors, in addition to their typical use as elect ...

Phonon hydrodynamics in two-dimensional materials

Nicola Marzari, Andrea Cepellotti, Giorgia Fugallo, Lorenzo Paulatto

The conduction of heat in two dimensions displays a wealth of fascinating phenomena of key relevance to the scientific understanding and technological applications of graphene and related materials. Here, we use density-functional perturbation theory and a ...

Continuous Polyol Synthesis of Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Using a Segmented Flow Tubular Reactor (SFTR)

Paul Bowen, Andrea Testino, Christoph Stähli, Jose Enrico Quijano Quinsaat, Frank Pilger

Over the last years a new type of tubular plug flow reactor, the segmented flow tubular reactor (SFTR), has proven its versatility and robustness through the water-based synthesis of precipitates as varied as CaCO3, BaTiO3, Mn((1-x))Ni(x)C(2)O(4)2H(2)O, YB ...
