Urotropin azelate: a rather unwilling co-crystal
Urotropin (U) and azelaic acid (AA) form 1:1 co-crystals (UA) that give rise to a rather complex diffraction pattern, the main features of which are diffuse rods and bands in addition to the Bragg reflections. UA is characterized by solvent inclusions, par ...
2003Conformations of an amino-amido-thiolate self-assembled layer on gold in air and in electrolytes
Klaus Kern, Horst Vogel, Alexander Bittner
The amino-amido-thiol AT (HS-(CH2)10-CO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH2)(HS-(CH2)10-CO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH2), adsorbed on Au(111), was studied by sum frequency generation (SFG) and IR reflection absorption spectroscopy in the CH2 stretching vibration region. The SFG and IR spect ...
2003Canonical Adiabatic Free Energy Sampling (CAFES): A Novel Method for the Exploration of Free Energy Surfaces
We present a novel method, canonical adiabatic free energy sampling (CAFES) that allows for the efficient exploration of the free energy surface of a subsystem (S) embedded in an environment (E) using mol. dynamics simulations. The dynamics of S is decoupl ...
2002Electrochemical promotion of Rh catalyst in gas-phase reduction of NO by propylene
Christos Comninellis, György Foti
The concept of nonfaradaic electrochem. modification of catalytic activity (NEMCA) was applied for the in situ control of catalytic activity of a rhodium film deposited on YSZ (yttria stabilized zirconia) solid electrolyte towards redn. of 1000 ppm NO by 1 ...
2000Modélisation et analyse numérique de problèmes de réaction-diffusion provenant de la solidification d'alliages binaires
In this work, we are interested in elaborating models and numerical methods in order to study some phenomena which arise in the solidification of binary alloys. We propose two distinct models based on the mass and energy conservation laws as well as on cla ...
EPFL1999Nouvelles technologies de microstructuration de type UV-LIGA et fabrication de composants micromécaniques
This study presents two techniques of structuration of type UV-LIGA (Lithographie, Galvanisierung und Abformung) based on the use of two thick photoresists which are a dry film resist called Riston® from DuPont and the new SU-8 negative-working resist from ...
EPFL1998Self-assembly at metal surfaces
The recent development of temperature controlled scanning tunneling microscopy opened the door to a fascinating new world on the nanometer scale. The atomic scale information obtained provides unprecedented insight into the kinetics of surface phenomena su ...
1998Introduction aux nouveaux bilans énergétiques
Exergy analysis of systems is extremely rich as it uses the so-called exergy accountancy which takes into account first and second principles of thermodynamics. This exergetic accountancy enables to quantitatively evaluate what is calles qualitatively the ...
