A General Framework for Pearlescent Materials
Wenzel Alban Jakob, Ibon Guillen Serrano
The unique and visually mesmerizing appearance of pearlescent materials has made them an indispensable ingredient in a diverse array of applications including packaging, ceramics, printing, and cosmetics. In contrast to their natural counterparts, such syn ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2020Light Scattering Enhancement at the Absorption Edge in Dewetting Droplets of Cyanine Dyes
Frank Nüesch, Jakob Heier, Florent Alexandre Boudoire
Diffraction properties of thin films of dewetted cyanine dye droplets are investigated and related to the complex refractive index. Strong changes in the index of refraction are often found near the absorption edge of organic dyes. Within a small window of ...
Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh2017Potential of magnetron sputtered magnesium fluoride containing thin films for the multilayer design of coloured coatings for solar collector glazing
Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Paul Muralt, Stefan Mertin
In this work, the potential of magnetron sputtered magnesium fluoride (MgF2) and MgF2 containing composite coatings for coloured solar collector glazing is investigated. Coloured thin-film interference coatings on the reverse side of the collector cover gl ...
LESO-PB, EPFL2015Reactively Sputtered Nano-Structured Multilayer Coatings on Architectural Glazing for Active Solar Energy Façades
Improving the aesthetic of solar thermal collectors would grant architects a huge potential for a perfect integration of solar panels into building façades: this can be achieved by coloured interference coatings on the cover glass. These coatings also open ...
EPFL2015Momentum and photon energy dependence of the circular dichroic photoemission in the bulk Rashba semiconductors BiTeX (X = I, Br, Cl)
Marco Grioni, Arnaud Magrez, Oleg Yazyev, Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Alberto Crepaldi, Gabriel Albert Autes, Luca Moreschini, Jens Christian Johannsen, Cédric Tournier-Colletta
Bulk Rashba systems BiTeX (X = I, Br, Cl) are emerging as important candidates for developing spintronics devices because of the coexistence of spin-split bulk and surface states, along with the ambipolar character of the surface charge carriers. The need ...
American Physical Society2014Nanostructuring and lattice dynamics of materials by femtosecond lasers
Physically, the colour of an object is a complex result of its intrinsic surface properties, its transmission properties and its emission properties, all of which contribute to the mix of wavelengths in the light leaving the surface of the object. Structur ...
EPFL2013On Micro Optical Elements for Efficient Light Diffusion
Efficient light management is one of the key issues in modern energy conversion systems, be it to collect optical power or to redistribute light generated by high power light emitters. This thesis touches mainly on the subject of efficient light redistribu ...
EPFL2013Goniocolorimetry: from measurement to representation in the CIELAB color space
The classical definitions of color are well adapted to diffusing objects, whose color is almost independent of the viewing angle, and to very glossy object observed in the specular direction in respect to the light source. For glossy or iridescent objects, ...
