Effective conductivity of porous ceramics in a radiative environment

Sophia Haussener, Clemens Gregor Suter, Jérémy Raphaël Mora-Monteros

The knowledge of the effective thermal conductivity, taking into account conduction and radiation, is crucial for the accurate prediction of the thermal behavior of porous foams, especially in an environment where radiation is dominating. We present a comb ...

Dislocation Motion and the Microphysics of Flash Heating and Weakening of Faults during Earthquakes

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Andrea Cavallo

Earthquakes are the result of slip along faults and are due to the decrease of rock frictional strength (dynamic weakening) with increasing slip and slip rate. Friction experiments simulating the abrupt accelerations (>>10 m/s(2)), slip rates (similar to 1 ...

Alkali uptake in calcium alumina silicate hydrate (C-A-S-H)

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Émilie Michèle L'Hôpital

Uptake of the alkalis K and Na by calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) and calcium alumina silicate hydrate (C-A-S-H) of molar Ca/Si ratios = 0.6 to 1.6 and molar Al/Si ratio = 0 or 0.05 has been studied at 20 degrees C. Alkalis are thought to be bound in the ...

On the Hydro-Mechanical Behaviour of Remoulded and Natural Opalinus Clay Shale

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Valentina Favero

The geo-energy sector makes use of advanced technologies such as shale gas extraction, CO2 sequestration and nuclear waste geological disposal that rely on the exploitation of shale formations. Due to the great depths involved in these applications and the ...

Magnetic structure and magnon dynamics of the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet FePS3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Diane Virginie Marie Lançon

Neutron scattering from single crystals has been used to determine the magnetic structure and magnon dynamics of FePS3, an S = 2 Ising-like quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet with a honeycomb lattice. The magnetic structure has been confirmed to have a ...

Structural and photocatalytic properties of perovskite-type (La,Ca)Ti(O,N)(3) prepared from A-site deficient precursors

Michael Graetzel, Takashi Hisatomi

Two series of oxide precursors for perovskite-type (La,Ca)Ti(O,N)(3) were prepared by adding Ca2+ to A-site deficient LaTiO3.5 heterogeneously (Ca2+-backfilling) or by substituting Ca2+ for La3+ in stoichiometric LaTiO3.5 homogeneously (Ca2+-substitution). ...

Design and fabrication of compositionally graded inorganic oxide thin films: Mechanical, optical and permeation characteristics

Yves Leterrier, Xavier Bulliard, Ji Hyun Kim

Different types of inorganic oxide films composed of a chemical composition gradient single layer were designed, fabricated and characterized. Compositionally graded thin films were created by power-controlled co-sputtering of alumina (Al2O3) and silica (S ...

Water adsorption on a sodium smectite clay surface: an ab initio study

John Christopher Plummer, Pascal Clausen

Using calculations based on density-functional theory, we explore the configurations that water molecules (2,3,4;6) assume on the surface a sodium 2:1 smectite clay with isomorphic substitutions both on octahedral and tetrahedral sheets. The hydrophilicity ...

Adsorption of low-molecular-weight molecules on the surface of a sodium smectite clay: an ab initio study

John Christopher Plummer, Wanda Andreoni, Pascal Clausen, Alessandro Curioni

We present a study of the adsorption of single molecules of volatiles, such as water, ethanol, ethyl acetate, pyridine, toluene, and n-octane, on the dry surface of a smectite clay using a series of calculations based on density functional theory. Our clay ...
