Combining thermal insulation and mobile communication in buildings: influence of laser-treated glazing on microwave propagation

Andreas Schueler, Josef Andreas Schuler, Luc Burnier, Jérémy Jacques Antonin Fleury, Héloïse Ludivine Delaporte

With the purpose of reducing the heating energy in buildings, it is common practice to install energy-efficient windows to increase the thermal insulation of a façade. These insulating glass units (IGIJ) include a thin silver coating acting as an infrared ...

Electronic properties and ion migration of “in vacuo” lithiated nanoporous WO3:Mo thin films

Andreas Schueler, Josef Andreas Schuler, Luc Burnier, Jérémy Jacques Antonin Fleury

Electrochromic (EC) glazing helps manage daylight and solar heat gains in building, thereby allowing a reduction in energy consumption caused by heating, cooling, and artificial lighting. This study relates the optical and electronic properties of nanoporo ...

VO2:Ge based thermochromic solar absorber coatings

Anna Krammer, Josef Andreas Schuler

Flat plate solar collectors face the problem of overheating and the ensuing high thermal stresses and general collector damage lead to high maintenance costs. To address this challenge, absorber coatings with a passive optical switch at critically high ope ...

Measurement of the inclusive and differential t(t)over-bar gamma cross sections in the dilepton channel and effective field theory interpretation in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

Matthias Finger, Varun Sharma, Olivier Martin, Ian Smith, Jean-François Carlin, Arvind Shah, Rakesh Chawla, Thomas Mountford, Chao Wang, João Miguel das Neves Duarte

The production cross section of a top quark pair in association with a photon is measured in proton-proton collisions in the decay channel with two oppositely charged leptons (e(+/-)mu(-/+), e(+)e(-), or mu(+)mu(-)). The measurement is performed using 138 ...

Optical properties of in vacuo lithiated nanoporous WO3:Mo thin films as determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry

Andreas Schueler, Josef Andreas Schuler, Maxime Lagier, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard, Luc Burnier, Aurélien Bertinotti

Incorporation of Mo into pure WO3 thin films is of interest for electrochromic devices, as it improves colour neutrality in the dark state. Existing literature still lacks reliable quantitative data on the complex dielectric function of such coatings. In t ...

Solar energy potential at the Great St Bernard Pass

Josef Andreas Schuler, Pietro Florio, David Notzon

The historical site of the Great St Bernard Pass, situated in the Alps at an elevation of 2469 m, records very high electricity consumptions. This study aims at evaluating the photovoltaic potential at the pass. The analysis was performed on the envelope s ...

Wide band-pass FSS with reduced periodicity for energy efficient windows at higher frequencies

Josef Andreas Schuler, Luc Burnier, Jérémy Jacques Antonin Fleury

A simulation model and an experimental characterization of energy saving glazing transparent to mobile communication frequency up to 40 GHz is presented. A previous study showed that laser structured energy efficient windows with a frequency selective surf ...

Dynamics of excited interlayer states in hexagonal boron nitride monolayers

Josef Andreas Schuler, Silvan Dino Marcos Roth

Hexagonal boron nitride () is the isoelectronic but insulating counterpart of graphene. Like graphene it can easily be grown as high-quality nanotubes or as single layers on metal surfaces. Both materials can be exfoliated or transferred after single-layer ...

Co-Sputtered Monocrystalline GeSn for Infrared Photodetection

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Andreas Schueler, Anna Krammer, Josef Andreas Schuler, Andrea Giunto, Luc Burnier, Nicolas Philippe Laurent Humblot

We demonstrate monocrystalline growth of GeSn on Ge and Si substrates by co-sputtering. We discuss the evolution of film growth with thickness, elucidating the effects of substrate temperature, sputtering source, and the importance of hydrogen dilution in ...

Solar cooking potential in Switzerland: Nodal modelling and optimization

Andreas Schueler, Josef Andreas Schuler, Dasaraden Mauree, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard, Luc Burnier, Jérémy Jacques Antonin Fleury, Timothée Chatelain, Samson Taylor

Solar cooking is one possible solution to reduce the domination of fossil fuel in the domestic sector and to benefit from renewable energy. This study assesses the solar cooking potential in Switzerland. A nodal model, based on energy balance equations of ...
