Structural assignments are determined for Se-77 and Ge-73 chemical shifts through density-functional NMR calculations for GeSe2, Ge4Se9, and GeSe crystals. In particular, a very good agreement between calculated and measured Se-77 isotropic chemical shifts ...
Fracture in metals is controlled by material behavior around the crack tip where size-dependent plasticity, now widely demonstrated at the micron scale, should play a key role. Here, a physical origin of the controlling length scales in fracture is identif ...
In the past decade, one of the major challenges of particle physics has been to gain an in-depth understanding of the role of quark flavor. In this time frame, measurements and the theoretical interpretation of their results have advanced tremendously. A m ...
We investigate how various treatments of exact exchange affect defect charge transition levels and band edges in hybrid functional schemes for a variety of systems. We distinguish the effects of long-range vs short-range exchange and of local vs nonlocal e ...
The surface topography and local surface work function of ultrathin MgO(001) films on Ag(001) have been studied by noncontact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM). First principles calculations have been used to explain ...
Parametric coupling of optical and mechanical degrees of freedom forms the basis of many ultra-sensitive measurements of both force and mechanical displacement. An optical cavity with a mechanically compliant boundary enhances the optomechanical interactio ...
The work underscores the feasibility of highly efficient silicon solar cell structures manufactured with high throughput machines. The main challenge consists in the implementation of more performant structures of intrinsic higher complexity. These structu ...
We propose an approximate method for evaluating the importance of non-Born–Oppenheimer effects on the quantum dynamics of nuclei. The method uses a generalization of the dephasing representation (DR) of quantum fidelity to several diabatic potential energy ...
The basic goal in combinatorial group testing is to identify a set of up to d defective items within a large population of size n >> d using a pooling strategy. Namely, the items can be grouped together in pools, and a single measurement would reveal wheth ...

The thesis wants to analyze "the strategies of wrapping in Dutch contemporary architecture" and wants to re-define, in a systematic way, some aspects that have not been investigated by those publications and authors that, since the beginning of the '90s un ...
