Magnetic nanorods driven by rotating fields in water can be rapidly steered along any direction while generating strong and localized hydrodynamic flow fields. Here we show that, when raising the frequency of the rotating field, these nanopropellers underg ...
On September 20, 1770, the brothers Jean-André and Guillaume-Antoine Deluc, two scientists from Geneva, finally reached the summit of Mont Buet (3096m) after two unsuccessful attempts. From this vantage point overlooking the Alps and Mont Blanc, they perfo ...
We report on scanningtunneling microscopy (STM) topographs ofindividual metal phthalocyanines (MPc) on a thin salt (NaCl) filmadsorbed on a gold substrate, at tunneling energies within the molecule'selectronic transport gap. Theoretical models of increasin ...
This paper presents the results of a theoretical and experimental investigation of the potential of enhanced groove geometries to increase the bearing clearance of a Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearing (HGJB) supported rotor. The theoretical study investig ...
Ultrafast lasers pulses induced ablation of nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloy substrates immersed in deionized water yielded a high-throughput of polycrystalline core - amorphous shell NiTi nanoparticles (NPs) owing to the high pulse energy of femtosecond (fs) ...
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the mechanical and thermal behaviour of HTS coated conductor cables for EUROfusion DEMO magnets.One of the issue in large HTS magnets is the safety against a quench. A quench is a sudden thermal runway in which the ...
The real-time, and accurate inference of model parameters is of great importance in many scientific and engineering disciplines that use computational models (such as a digital twin) for the analysis and prediction of complex physical processes. However, f ...
Particulate flow in closed space is involved in many engineering applications. In this paper, the prediction of particle removal is investigated in a thermally driven 3D cavity at turbulent Rayleigh number Ra = 1E9 using Coarse Large Eddy Simulation (CLES) ...
The electronic structure of surfaces plays a key role in the properties of quantum devices. However, surfaces are also the most challenging to simulate and engineer. Here, the electronic structure of InAs(001), InAs(111), and InSb(110) surfaces is studied ...
Polarimetric angle-resolved second-harmonic scattering (AR-SHS) is an all-optical tool enabling the study of unlabeled interfaces of nano-sized particles in an aqueous solution. As the second harmonic signal is modulated by interference between nonlinear c ...
