Quadratic serendipity element shape functions on general planar polygons

Xiaodong Wei, Juan Cao

This paper proposes a method for the construction of quadratic serendipity element (QSE) shape functions on planar convex and concave polygons. Existing approaches for constructing QSE shape functions are linear combinations of the pair-wise products of ge ...

A Künneth theorem for configuration spaces

Kathryn Hess Bellwald

We construct a spectral sequence converging to the homology of the ordered configuration spaces of a product of parallelizable manifolds. To identify the second page of this spectral sequence, we introduce a version of the Boardman-Vogt tensor product for ...

Narrowband Optical Coupler Using Fano Interference in First Order Diffraction

Olivier Martin, Benjamin Gallinet, Giorgio Quaranta, Fabian Michael Lütolf

Light coupling in waveguides has been extensively investigated in a variety of contexts, from photonic integrated circuits to biosensing and near-eye displays for augmented reality. Here, narrowband diffraction is reported using a Fano interference effect ...

Experimental study of the strain patterned in 2D materials using thermal nanoimprint lithography

Johannes Mathis Valentin Lemonde

Since straining semiconductors can enhance the carriers’ mobility and thus improve optoelectronic properties, this project aims at determining whether t-NIL can be used in order to strain thin flakes of MoS2 out of the plane. In this approach, the thin fla ...

Acoustic Topological Fano Resonances

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

Originally discovered in the context of quantum mechanics in 1961, the ultra-sharp spectrum of the Fano resonance has nowadays established itself as centerpiece in modern engineering for realizing a large variety of prominent devices including low energy s ...

Decomposition of Multiple Packings with Subquadratic Union Complexity

János Pach, Bartosz Maria Walczak

Suppose k is a positive integer and X is a k-fold packing of the plane by infinitely many arc-connected compact sets, which means that every point of the plane belongs to at most k sets. Suppose there is a function f(n) = o(n(2)) with the property that any ...

Investigations of the non-adiabatic photophysics of Cu(I)-phenanthroline complexes

Gloria Capano

Cu(I)-phenanthrolines are an important class of metal-organic molecules that exhibits much promise for solar energy harvesting and solar-driven catalysis applications. Although many experimental studies have been performed calling for high-level simulation ...

Optimal Swarm Formation for Odor Plume Finding

Ali Marjovi

This paper presents an analytical approach to the problem of odor plume finding by a network of swarm robotic gas sensors, and finds an optimal configuration for them, given a set of assumptions. Considering cross-wind movement for the swarm, we found that ...

Quantum stabilization of classically unstable plateau structures

Frédéric Mila, Tommaso Coletta

Motivated by an intriguing report, in some frustrated quantum antiferromagnets, of magnetization plateaus whose simple collinear structure is not stabilized by an external magnetic field in the classical limit, we develop a semiclassical method to estimate ...

Phase diagram of the spin-1 Heisenberg model with three-site interactions on the square lattice

Frédéric Mila, Frédéric Alexis Michaud

We study the spin S = 1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the square lattice with, in addition to the nearest-neighbor interaction, a three-site interaction of the form (S-i . S-j)(S-j . S-k) + H.c. This interaction appears naturally in a strong coupli ...
