Processing factors affecting roughness, optical and mechanical properties of nanocellulose films for optoelectronics

Tiffany Abitbol

This work aims to understand how nanocellulose (NC) processing can modify the key characteristics of NC films to align with the main requirements for high-performance optoelectronics. The performance of these devices relies heavily on the light transmittan ...

Water weakening and the compressive brittle strength of carbonates: Influence of fracture toughness and static friction

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Barnaby Padraig Fryer, Corentin Jean-Marie Rémi Noël

Water is ubiquitous within the pore space of rocks and has been shown to affect their physical and mechanical behaviour. Indeed, water can act on the rock strength via mechanical (i.e., reducing the effective stresses) or chemical effects (e.g., mineral di ...

Size dependence of second-harmonic scattering from nanoparticles: Disentangling surface and electrostatic contributions

Sylvie Roke, Arianna Marchioro, Bingxin Chu

Polarimetric angle-resolved second-harmonic scattering (AR-SHS) is an all-optical tool enabling the study of unlabeled interfaces of nano-sized particles in an aqueous solution. As the second harmonic signal is modulated by interference between nonlinear c ...

Säntis lightning research facility: a summary of the first ten years and future outlook

Marcos Rubinstein

The Säntis Tower was instrumented in May 2010 to measure currents of lightning discharges striking the structure. Since then, the system has been recurrently updated and expanded. Presently, data associated with lightning striking the tower are collected a ...

Study of the enhanced electricity output of a sliding droplet-based triboelectric nanogenerator for droplet sensor design

Jürgen Brugger, Xia Liu, Wei Xu, Xiaopeng Li

Triboelectric nanogenerators are establishing themselves as promising candidates for realizing high-efficient energy harvesting from largely available droplets. However, the conventional droplet-based liquid-solid triboelectric nanogenerator (DLS-TENG) has ...
