A Rapidly Responsive Sensor for Wireless Detection of Early and Mature Microbial Biofilms
Hubert Girault, Wanderson Oliveira Da Silva, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Bhawna Nagar
Biofilm-associated infections, which are able to resist antibiotics, pose a significant challenge in clinical treatments. Such infections have been linked to various medical conditions, including chronic wounds and implant-associated infections, making the ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2023Optical metasurfaces: synthesis, nanofabrication, and colorful applications
In this thesis, we mainly utilize silver to construct the meta-atoms. Although suffering from easily oxidized, its excellent lossless property throughout the visible range makes it suitable for study. When preserved properly, silver-made metasurfaces can s ...
EPFL2022STEM study of Li4Ti5O12 anode material modified with Ag nanoparticles
Marco Cantoni, Malgorzata Maria Michalska, Mariusz Andrzejczuk
Comprehensive scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) analysis of Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) powder modified by deposited Ag nanoparticles was performed. Nanocomposite powders with Ag content of 1 wt.%, 4 wt.%, 10 wt.% were fabricated in a chemical process f ...
Wiley-Blackwell2016Magnetron-Sputtered Ag Surfaces. New Evidence for the Nature of the Ag Ions Intervening in Bacterial Inactivation
César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Rosendo Sanjines
DC-magnetron sputtering with an Ag target on textile surfaces produced Ag particles with sizes similar to 4.7 nm (+/- 15%). Sputtering for 15 s led to Ag layers of 15-20 nm. The threshold sputtering time precluding airborne bacterial growth was about 60 s. ...
2010Phase Transformations in 18-Carat Gold Alloys Studied by Mechanical Spectroscopy
This work is motivated by an industrial interest in gaining a better understanding of the phase transformations that govern the mechanical properties of 18-carat gold alloys commonly used in jewelry applications and luxury watchmaking. These alloys fall in ...
EPFL2010Correlation of microstructural and mechanical properties in particle reinforced lead-free solders
Solders are widely used as interconnect material for the electronic industry. The solder interconnect provides both electrical contact and mechanical connection between the integrated circuit devices and their substrate. Thus solders with good reliability ...
EPFL2009Electronic excitations induced by the impact of coinage metal ions and clusters on a rare gas matrix: neutralization and luminescence
Wolfgang Harbich, Christoph Sieber
Low energy collisions of atomic ions and cluster ions with rare gas covered metal substrates can lead to strong light emission which is element and size specific. Instead of a direct energy transfer into the electronic system of the cluster the observed em ...
2007From weakly coordinating to non-coordinating anions? A simple preparation of the silver salt of the least coordinating anion and its application to determine the ground state structure of the Ag(η2-P4)2+ cation
The unexpected but facile prepn. of the Ag salt of the least coordinating [(RO)3Al-F-Al(OR)3]- anion (R = C(CF3)3) by reaction of Ag[Al(OR)4] with one equiv. of PCl3 is described. The mechanism of the formation of Ag[(RO)3Al-F-Al(OR)3] is explained based o ...
2004Inhibition of bacterial adhesion on PVC endotracheal tubes by RF-oxygen glow discharge, sodium hydroxide and silver nitrate treatments
Christoph Hollenstein, Karine Triandafillu
Medical-grade poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) was chemically modified to study how the incorporation of monovalent silver influences Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhesion and colonization. The modification investigated consisted of a radio frequency-oxygen (RF-O-2) g ...
2004Electronic properties of superconducting (YBa2 Cu3O6.9)1-xAgx compounds
Davor Pavuna, Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon
We have studied electronic properties of (YBa2Cu3O6.9)1-xAgx compounds with 5, 10, 15, 25 and 50 wt% Ag. In our samples, the silver fills the intergranular space and the superconductivity is preserved even at 50 wt% Ag(Tc=87 K). These samples can be safely ...
