High-speed imaging of snow saltation: wind tunnel experiments using natural snow
Michael Lehning, Daniela Brito Melo, Benjamin Andreas Walter
Drifting snow is a multi-scale process. It is composed of particles rolling and sliding along the surface, particles in saltation following short ballistic trajectories in the first 10 cm above the surface and particles in suspension at higher regions of t ...
2022Super-geometric electron focusing on the hexagonal Fermi surface of PdCoO2
Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Maja Deborah Bachmann, Matthias Carsten Putzke
Geometric electron optics may be implemented in solids when electron transport is ballistic on the length scale of a device. Currently, this is realized mainly in 2D materials characterized by circular Fermi surfaces. Here we demonstrate that the nearly pe ...
2019Geometry of Chemical Beam Vapor Deposition System for Efficient Combinatorial Investigations of Thin Oxide Films: Deposited Film Properties versus Precursor Flow Simulations
Paul Muralt, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Estelle Wagner, Scott Harada, Giacomo Benvenuti, Marc Jobin
An innovative deposition system has been developed to construct complex material thin films from single-element precursors by chemical beam vapor deposition (CBVD). It relies on well distributed punctual sources that emit individually controlled precursor ...
ACS Publications2016Great Balls of Fire: A probabilistic approach to quantify the hazard related to ballistics – A case study at La Fossa volcano, Vulcano Island, Italy
We present a probabilistic approach to quantify the hazard posed by volcanic ballistic projectiles (VBP) and their potential impact on the built environment. A model named Great Balls of Fire (GBF) is introduced to describe ballistic trajectories of VBPs a ...
Elsevier Science Bv2016Observation of quantized conductance in neutral matter
In transport experiments, the quantum nature of matter becomes directly evident when changes in conductance occur only in discrete steps1, with a size determined solely by Planck's constant h. Observations of quantized steps in electrical conductance2,3 ha ...
2015Modeling the Channel Charge and Potential in Quasi-Ballistic Nanoscale Double-Gate MOSFETs
Christian Enz, Jean-Michel Sallese, Anurag Mangla
In this paper, we present an analytical semiempirical model of the profile of the channel charge and potential in quasi-ballistic double-gate (DG) MOSFETs. The charge model is based on the premise of separating the charge density in the quasi-ballistic cha ...
Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2014Dynamic control of light transmission through multimode fibers
In the present thesis we demonstrate how under the appropriate dynamic control of light propagation, multimode fibers can be transformed into deterministic optical elements that along with their ultrathin size, large number of degrees of freedom and high N ...
EPFL2014Nondiffusive Suprathermal Ion Transport in Simple Magnetized Toroidal Plasmas
Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Kyle Gustafson
We investigate suprathermal ion dynamics in simple magnetized toroidal plasmas in the presence of electrostatic turbulence driven by the ideal interchange instability. Turbulent fields from fluid simulations are used in the nonrelativistic equation of ion ...
2012Conduction of Ultracold Fermions Through a Mesoscopic Channel
In a mesoscopic conductor, electric resistance is detected even if the device is defect-free. We engineered and studied a cold-atom analog of a mesoscopic conductor. It consists of a narrow channel connecting two macroscopic reservoirs of fermions that can ...
American Association for the Advancement of Science2012Investigation of suprathermal ion transport in TORPEX
Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Kyle Gustafson, Alexandre Dominique Bovet
Basic aspects of suprathermal ion transport in interchange-mode unstable plasmas are investigated in the simple toroidal plasma device TORPEX. Suprathermal ions are generated with a miniaturized lithium 6+ ion source with energies up to 1keV, and are detec ...
