The Wien2k code is widely used for the calculation of electron energy loss spectra. Low loss spectra can be calculated with the OPTIC package while core loss spectra are calculated with the TELNES program. A new version, TELNES.2, takes into account the ef ...
In situ determination of stress, strength, and deformation of soils for direct assessment of trafficability and susceptibility to compaction has been a long-standing problem in soil mechanics and agricultural engineering. Despite considerable progress in d ...
This paper describes a new method to determine the equivalent heat transfer coefficients, i.e., radial and azimuthal, in CICC's with parallel cooling channels. The method is based on the measurement of the steady state temperature response to a step heatin ...
The structure of anodized nanoporous alumina is described as a closely-packed hexagonal arrangement of monodispersed nanopores, of which size and interval can be controlled by changing the anodization conditions. Nanoporous alumina thin films with highly o ...
In this paper we consider a coupled system made of the Stokes and Darcy equations, and we propose some iteration-by-subdomain methods based on Robin conditions on the interface. We prove the convergence of these algorithms, and for suitable finite element ...
Ultrathin Fe films on Pt substrates have been investigated under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by scanning tunneling microscopy, low energy electron diffraction, magneto-optical Kerr effect, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements, and Kerr microscopy ...
The authors present a polarization-resolved photoluminescence study of single semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) interconnected to quantum wires, measured both in a top geometry, and in a less conventional cleaved-edge geometry. Strong polarization anisotrop ...
In this thesis, the magnetic and structural properties of layered epitaxial film systems and clusters are presented. A main achievement is the investigation of the direct correlation between magnetism and structural or morphological details of ultrathin fi ...
The frequent use of soils and earth materials for hydraulic capping and for geo-environmental waste containment motivated our interest in detailed modelling of changes in size and shape of macro-pores to establish links between soil mechanical behaviour an ...
C59N magnetic fullerenes were formed inside single-wall carbon nanotubes by vacuum annealing functionalized C59N molecules encapsulated inside the tubes. A hindered, anisotropic rotation of C59N was deduced from the temperature dependence of the electron s ...
