This thesis contributes to the field of analytical chemistry of solid samples by introducing a new instrument with unprecedented performance characteristics and analytical capabilities. The instrument is based on the laser ablation and ionisation time-of-f ...
Background: The periodic dielectric multilayers sustaining Bloch surface waves have been proposed as a platformfor the sensing applications and the two dimensional integrated optics. In this paper, we present the experimental and theoretical investigation ...
Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are recently developing alternative to surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). Due to dramatically enhanced propagation distance and strong field confinement these surface states can be successfully used in on-chip all-optical integra ...
A family of effective equations that capture the long time dispersive effects of wave propagation in heterogeneous media in an arbitrary large periodic spatial domain Omega subset of R-d is proposed and analyzed. For a wave equation with highly oscillatory ...
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 ...
Fluid-structure investigations in hydraulic machines using coupled simulations are particularly time-consuming. In this study, an alternative method is presented that linearizes the hydrodynamic load of a rigid, oscillating hydrofoil. The hydrofoil, which ...
An instrument for high-speed laser perfusion imaging comprises a laser source, a detector, a signal-processing unit, data memory, and a screen to display the results. A section of the sample surface is illuminated with laser light; the reemitted light from ...
