Velocity-driven frictional sliding: Coarsening and steady-state pulses

Jean-François Molinari, Thibault Didier Roch

Frictional sliding is an intrinsically complex phenomenon, emerging from the interplay between driving forces, elasto-frictional instabilities, interfacial nonlinearity and dissipation, material inertia and bulk geometry. We show that homogeneous rate-and- ...

Crystallography, thermodynamics and phase transitions in refractory binary alloys

Anirudh Raju Natarajan

We investigate phase stability in all binary alloys comprised of elements from groups 4 (Ti, Zr, Hf), 5 (V, Nb, Ta) and 6 (Cr, Mo, W) of the periodic table. First-principles calculations of the energy landscapes along crystallographic pathways that connect ...

Optical element

Niels Quack, Gergely Huszka

The present invention concerns an optical grating comprising a body defining a first external surface and a second external surface. The first external surface defines a periodic structure comprising a plurality of elongated protrusions and a plurality of ...

A class of 2-local finite spectra which admit a v1/2-self-map

Philip Egger

At the prime 2, Behrens, Hill, Hopkins and Mahowald showed that M-2 (1, 4) admits a 32-periodic v(2)-self-map. More recently, in joint work with Mahowald, we showed that A(1) also admits a 32-periodic v(2)-self-map. This leads to the question of whether th ...

A water-based and metal-free dye solar cell exceeding 7% efficiency using a cationic poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) derivative

A green, efficient and stable solar cell based only on water and safe and cheap elements of the periodic table is proposed in this work, finally consolidating (also from a sustainability viewpoint) the concept of "artificial photosynthesis" studied for dec ...

Solution Processing and Self-Organization of PbS Quantum Dots Passivated with Formamidinium Lead Iodide (FAPbI(3))

Roland Hany

Solution-processed lead sulfide quantum dots (PbS QDs) are very attractive as NIR-active semiconductors for the fabrication of cost-efficient optoelectronic devices. To control the thin film carrier transport, as well as stability, surface passivation is o ...

Engineered acoustic mismatch for anchor loss control in contour mode resonators

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Annalisa De Pastina, Andrea Lozzi

Improving the quality factor (Q) of electromechanical resonators is of paramount importance for different applications, ranging from RF filtering to sensing. In this paper, we present a modified fabrication process flow for contour mode resonators to simul ...

Mendeleev in his first publication ordered the chemical elements following an apparent periodicity of properties such as atomic volume and valence. The reactivity of the elements was only studied systematically many years later. To illustrate the systemati ...

Beyond the second row of the periodic table, the nature of the multiple bonds between the elements of the main groups remains yet elusive, and "non-classical" bonding schemes are often invoked for their description. Here, focusing on group 14, we have perf ...

Universal Oxide Shell Growth Enables in Situ Structural Studies of Perovskite Nanocrystals during the Anion Exchange Reaction

Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice, Seryio Saris, Michal Stanislaw Strach

The ability to tune thin oxide coatings by wet-chemistry is desirable for many applications, yet it remains a key synthetic challenge. In this work, we introduce a general colloidal atomic layer deposition (c-ALD) synthesis to grow an alumina shell with tu ...
