Unravelling the precipitation pathway of biorelevant minerals: from fundamental studies to biomedical applications

The formation pathway of biominerals archetypes, namely calcium carbonate (CaC) and calcium phosphates (CaPs), was investigated using a multidisciplinary approach. The time-resolved analytical data were collected using a controlled-composition method and i ...

The morning commute in urban areas with heterogeneous trip lengths

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Raphael Ali Francis Lamotte

This paper investigates the equilibrium properties of the morning commute problem at the network level with heterogeneous trip lengths. Congestion is modeled with a Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram relating the space-mean speed of a network to the vehicular ...

Thermodynamic properties of highly frustrated quantum spin ladders: Influence of many-particle bound states

Frédéric Mila, Bruce Normand

Quantum antiferromagnets have proven to be some of the cleanest realizations available for theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies of quantum fluctuation effects. At finite temperatures, however, the additional effects of thermal fluctuations in t ...

Modular organization of reaching and grasping movements investigated using EEG microstates

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Silvestro Micera, Elvira Pirondini, Robert Leeb, Martina Coscia, Jesús Minguillón Campos

How movements are generated and controlled by the central nervous system (CNS) is still not well understood. In this work, we tested the hypothesis of a modular organization of the brain activity during the execution of voluntary movements. In particular, ...

Effect Of Distinct Conductive And Thermodynamic Temperatures On The Reflection Of Plane Waves In Micropolar Elastic Half-Space

Kunal Sharma

The present investigation is concerned with wave propagation in micropolar thermoelastic solid half space with distinct conductive and thermodynamic temperatures. Reflection of plane waves incident obliquely at the free surface of micropolar generalized th ...

Prospects of warm dense matter research at HiRadMat facility at CERN using 440 MeV SPS proton beam

Juan Blanco Sancho, Rudiger Schmidt

In this paper we present numerical simulations of heating of a solid copper cylinder by the 440 GeV proton beam delivered by the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN. The beam is made of 288 proton bunches while each bunch comprises of 1.15.10(11) so tha ...

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization by Thermal Mixing Under Partial Saturation

Arnaud Comment, Sami Jannin

We describe a low-temperature thermodynamic model for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) via continuous-wave partial saturation of electron spin resonance (ESR) lines that are both homogeneously and inhomogeneously broadened. It is a variant of a reasoning ...

Electron Cyclotron Heating and Suprathermal Electron Dynamics in the TCV Tokamak

Silvano Gnesin

This thesis is concerned with the physics of suprathermal electrons in thermonuclear, magnetically confined plasmas. Under a variety of conditions, in laboratory as well as space plasmas, the electron velocity distribution function is not in thermodynamic ...

Reversing the shape transition of InAs/GaAs (001) quantum dots by etching-induced lateral In segregation

Klaus Kern, Theresa Lutz, Giovanni Costantini

The shape evolution of epitaxially grown InAs/GaAs(001) quantum dots after the controlled removal of material by an in situ etching gas is investigated by atomic force and scanning tunneling microscopy. The presence of {137} facets on the surface of partia ...

Condensation phase diagram of cavity polaritons in GaN-based microcavities: Experiment and theory

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Eric Feltin, Jacques Levrat

The evolution of the polariton condensation threshold (P-thr) under incoherent optical pumping is investigated both theoretically and experimentally over a wide range of temperatures (4-340 K) and exciton-cavity photon detunings (-120-0 meV) in a multiple ...
