Micro-moirés combining metallic patterns and micro-lenses

Jürgen Brugger, Roger Hersch, Thomas Walger

Moiré effects appear when two sets of periodic structures are superimposed. By combining advanced micro-fabrication technologies and the moiré theory, we are able to obtain visually appealing moirés. Specific metallic patterns are created on one side of a ...

Axisymmetric oscillations at L-H transitions in JET: M-mode

Nicola Vianello, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo, Bernhard Sieglin

L to H transition studies at JET have revealed an n = 0, m = 1 magnetic oscillation starting immediately at the L to H transition (called M-mode for brevity). While the magnetic oscillation is present a weak ELM-less H-mode regime is obtained, with a clear ...

Dynamical 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 ...

Influence of slope-scale snowmelt on catchment response simulated with the Alpine3D model

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Ernesto Trujillo Gomez, Tristan Jonas Brauchli

Snow and hydrological modeling in alpine environments remains challenging because of the complexity of the processes affecting the mass and energy balance. This study examines the influence of snowmelt on the hydrological response of a high-alpine catchmen ...

High-Throughput Step Emulsification for the Production of Functional Materials Using a Glass Microfluidic Device

Esther Amstad

High-volume production of monodisperse droplets is of importance for industrial applications due to increased emulsion stability, precise control over droplet volumes, and the formation of periodic arranged structures. So far, parallelized microfluidic dev ...

Light fields behind microstructures: study of the Babinet-principle in the Fresnel regime

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Krishnaparvathy Puthankovilakam

The Babinet’s principle is a general theorem that holds for electromagnetic waves and is often applied to diffraction of light. Diffraction pattern of a body and that of the complement body are compared and the sum of both radiation patterns must be the sa ...

Information content of binary snow/non-snow data for melt prediction

Snow spatial evolution and distribution in mountainous terrains is difficult to capture since these remote areas are often inaccessible. Nevertheless, they constitute important features for water resources management. To face this issue, the concept of dat ...

Laminated connections for structural glass applications under shear loading at different temperatures and strain rates

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

Connections between structural glass components represent one of the main critical aspects of glass engineering. In the last years, a novel typology of adhesive connections has emerged, known as laminated adhesive connections. Two adhesive materials for la ...

Manipulating the Optical Bistability in a Nonlinear Plasmonic Nanoantenna Array with a Reflecting Surface

Olivier Martin, Jérémy Butet

The influence of a reflecting surface on the optical bistability in a nanoantenna array is investigated theoretically. The optical response of the array is modeled using a surface integral equation method developed for periodic structures, and the descript ...

High-Temperature Ammonolysis of Thin Film Ta2O5 Photoanodes: Evolution of Structural, Optical, and Photoelectrochemical Properties

Ali Dabirian

Tantalum nitride (Ta3N5) and oxynitride (TaON) are promising materials for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting due to near-ideal band gaps and band edge positions. However, the high-temperature ammonolysis process that is usually used to make these ...
