This study compares the structure and decomposition behaviors of theα,β, and γ polymorphs of Ca(BH 4) 2 for hydrogen storage. Samples with different polymorphic contents are characterized using powder X-ray diffraction and vibrational spectroscopy. Decompo ...
The accurate consideration of propagation losses in arbitrarily shaped waveguide-based structures is studied in this paper. For such a purpose, a software tool based on the perturbation of the boundary conditions on the waveguide metallic walls and on the ...
An integrated computational approach built on quantum mechanical (QM) methods, purposely tailored inter-and intra-molecular force fields and continuum solvent models combined with time-independent and timedependent schemes to account for nuclear motion eff ...
Some basic properties of collisionless, trapped-electron mode turbulence in tokamaks are investigated by means of massively parallel gyrokinetic Vlasov simulations. In particular, the spatial structure and wave number spectra of various fluctuating plasma ...
The action of water waves moving over a porous seabed drives a seepage flux into and out of the marine sediments. The volume of fluid exchange per wave cycle may affect the rate of contaminant transport in the sediments. In this paper, the dynamic response ...
In this paper, we study the multiple scattering by electrically small (the radius of the cylinder is much smaller than the wavelength) plasmonic nanocylinders near surface plasmon resonance. The cylinders are assumed to be identical in dimension and compos ...
Electrostatic instabilities develop on TORPEX (TORoidal Plasma EXperiment) [A. Fasoli et al., Phys. of Plasmas, 13, 55902 (2006)] in the bad curvature region and propagate consistently with the drift wave dispersion relation. The wave number and frequency ...
The influence of confinement onto the inviscid and incompressible linear stability of the family of wakes introduced by Monkewitz [Phys. Fluids 31, 999 (1988)] is examined. The nondimensional parameters of the model, the velocity ratio Λ, defined as ratio ...
Photonic crystals (PhCs) act on light in two different ways: confinement and modification of propagation. Both phenomena rely on the complex interplay between multiply scattered waves that can form what is known as a Bloch mode. Here, we present a techniqu ...
We present an optical investigation of GaN pillars using both micro-Raman (mu-Raman) and microphotoluminescence (mu-PL) spectroscopy. GaN pillars of diameter ranging from 100 nm to 5 mum were fabricated by electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching ...
