Crystal field, ligand field, and interorbital effects in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides across the periodic table
Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exist in two polymorphs, referred to as 1T and 1H, depending on the coordination sphere of the transition metal atom. The broken octahedral and trigonal prismatic symmetries lead to different cry ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2019Predicting the reflectivity and colour of metals from first principles
Gold and copper are the only two elemental metals that show a characteristic colour, due to the presence of a drop in the reflectivity curve inside the visible range. Reflectivities of all other metals are in general high and flat for all visible frequenci ...
EPFL2019Crystalline and correlated phases in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides
This thesis is dedicated to the study of various aspects of the electronic structure of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) of chemical composition MX (where M is a transition metal atom and X= S, Se, Te), using a combination of \te ...
EPFL2019Electronic Structure and Topology of Novel Materials
The ground and excited electronic states are responsible for several materials' properties. The modern capability of rapidly solving on a computer the fundamental equations of relativistic or semi-relativistic quantum mechanics allows to compute the electr ...
EPFL2019Phyllomanganate vein-infillings in faulted and Al-poor regoliths of the New Caledonian ophiolite: periodic and sequential crystallization of Ni-asbolane, Alk-birnessite and H-birnessite
Mineralogy, chemistry and spatial distribution of phyllomanganates, found in abundance at the bottom of thick Ni-laterite deposits, were established on dislocated vein-infillings showing banded and fibrous patterns (i.e. colloforms with rows of tiny boxwor ...
2019Slow light engineering in resonant photonic crystal line-defect waveguides
Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Maliheh Khatibi Moghaddam
Slow light plays an outstanding role in a wide variety of optical applications, from quantum information to optical processing. While slow optical guiding in photonic crystal waveguides is typically based on Bragg band gaps occurring in non-resonant photon ...
2019Feature optimization for atomistic machine learning yields a data-driven construction of the periodic table of the elements
Michele Ceriotti, Félix Benedito Clément Musil, Michael John Willatt
Machine-learning of atomic-scale properties amounts to extracting correlations between structure, composition and the quantity that one wants to predict. Representing the input structure in a way that best reflects such correlations makes it possible to im ...
2018Topological phase transitions driven by strain in monolayer tellurium
Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Wei Zhang
Two-dimensional (2D) Xenes of a single type of element can offer fascinating electronic properties, such as massless Dirac fermions for extremely high charge-carrier mobility and topological insulators for dissipationless electron transport. However, the r ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2018Hypervelocity impact testing on stochastic and structured open porosity cast Al-Si cellular structures for space applications
A hypervelocity (6.7–7.0 km/s) impact testing campaign was conducted using Ø 2 mm, 95% Al projectiles onto A357 aluminium alloy stochastic foams with 4–5 mm typical pore dimensions, or alternatively diamond cubic periodic structures of cast AlSi12 with a 6 ...
2018Dynamical Behavior and Stability Analysis of Hydromechanical Gates
Paolo Perona, Fabian Alexander Bernhard
This study revisits the stability of hydromechanical gates for upstream water surface regulation, also known as AMIL gates. AMIL gates are used in irrigation canals, where they are often installed in series. From the regulation perspective, instabilities a ...
