In imaging and focusing applications, spherical aberration induces axial broadening of the point spread function (PSF). A transparent medium between lens and object of interest induces spherical aberration. We propose a method that first obtains both the p ...
Several geometries have recently been proposed for spin-transfer oscillators, with the purpose of optimizing the output power and the frequency dependence on the applied current, as well as minimizing the external magnetic field required to stabilize magne ...

La meta de éste trabajo es obtener magneto-elastómeros compuestos por dispersión de nanopartículas magnéticas en polidimetilsiloxano (PDMS), curando el polímero en presencia de un campo magnético uniforme. [Le but de ce travail est d’obtenir des composites ...
By replacing common buffers with anisotropic liquids in microfluidics, an enhanced range of optofluidic functionalities is enabled. Such an anisotropic liquid is nematic liquid crystals (NLC), which exhibits optical properties that can be tuned by optical, ...

Heterogeneous nucleation is governed by the interplay of interfacial energies between a substrate, a solid and a liquid. Although the intensity of these energies can strongly change with the orientation of the nucleus for anisotropic media, this parameter ...
We present an electron spin resonance (ESR) study of a single-crystalline spin chain system CuSe2O5 in the frequency range between 9 and 430 GHz. In a wide temperature range above the Neel temperature T-N = 17 K we observe a strong and anisotropic frequenc ...
An equilibrated polycrystalline material is considered, containing a small fraction of void space (melt or vapor), for which the crystals are above their roughening transition against this medium. The grain boundaries are approximated to have equal free en ...
In this paper, an elastic plastic behaviour model based on internal state variables is investigated. The final aim is to describe the mechanical stress-strain cyclic response of oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels during the cold pilgering process. ...
This thesis presents an investigation aimed at the understanding of the effect of interfacial energy anisotropy on growth morphologies in Al-Zn alloys. Most low alloyed metals form dendritic structures that grow along directions that correspond to low inde ...
We present a comprehensive study of the anisotropic optical properties of nonpolar GaN/AlGaN multiple quantum wells intentionally designed to act as an active region of a planar microcavity operating in the strong-coupling regime. The strain induced by the ...
