A time-domain recursive method to analyse transient wave propagation across rock joints

The present investigation is concerned with transient wave propagation in a rock mass with a set of parallel joints by using a recursive method. According to the displacement field of a rock mass with a set of parallel joints, the interaction between four ...

Photonic Nanojet engineering: Focal point shaping with scattering phenomena of dielectric microspheres

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We experimentally engineer Nanojets produced by dielectric spheres by varying the illumination and observe the effect with a high-resolution interference microscope (HRIM). Converging and diverging spherical wavefronts and Bessel- Gauss beams are considere ...

State-resolved reactivity of CH4 on Pt(110)-(1 x 2): The role of surface orientation and impact site

Rainer Beck, Régis Bisson, Marco Sacchi

The reactivity of methane (CH4) on Pt(110)-(1×2) has been studied by quantum state-resolved surface reactivity measurements. Ground state reaction probabilities, S0(v=0) ~ S0(laser-off), as well as state-resolved reaction probabilities S0(2v3), for CH4 exc ...

Quantifying electrochemical promotion of induced bipolar Pt particles supported on YSZ

Christos Comninellis, Wolfgang Harbich, Yuehui Li, Michael Hugentobler, Chun Xia

Electrochemical promotion (EP) of CO oxidation is shown for the first time on induced bipolar Pt particles supported on yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ). These Pt particles are formed by sputter deposition of high-purity Pt metal followed by sintering. Con ...
