At timescales once deemed immeasurably small by Einstein, the random movement of Brownian particles in a liquid is expected to be replaced by ballistic motion. So far, an experimental verification of this prediction has been out of reach due to a lack of i ...
Stratification patterns are formed when a bidisperse mixture of large rough grains and smaller more mobile particles is poured between parallel plates to form a heap. At low flow rates discrete avalanches flow down the free surface and are brought to rest ...
Precipitated oxalates are often nanostructured and can be used as precursors for nanostructured oxides for different applications. The modification of the particle shape and nanostructures of both copper and cobalt oxalates has been demonstrated using poly ...
We study the phase behaviour of symmetric binary mixtures of hard core Yukawa (HCY) particles via thermodynamic perturbation theory (TPT). We show that all the topologies of phase diagram reported for the symmetric binary mixtures are correctly reproduced ...
Particles are deposited onto a surface with discrete sites. They are subject to an inhibition by which they cannot pass close by a particle already fixed on the surface. This implies that the surface builds up with vertical gaps between the particles. In t ...
Current capabilities of Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) in Eulerian-Lagrangian studies of dispersed flows are limited by the modeling of the Sub-Grid Scale (SGS) turbulence effects on particle dynamics. These effects should be taken into account in order to re ...
Results of a theoretical study on the properties of Ir4 clusters in the gas–phase and on oxide surfaces are presented. The work is based on density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and ultrasoft pseudopotentials. ...
A technique for the accurate computation of the electromagnetic fields radiated by a charged particle moving within a parallel-plate waveguide is presented. Based on a transformation of the time-varying current density of the particle into a time-harmonic ...
Laboratory experiments play an important role in improving the modelling of rock avalanches since they contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms that characterise propagation and to identifying parameters influencing velocity and deposit chara ...
Contactless energy transfer is very promising in terms of property and handling. In clean rooms contactless energy transfer allows to build moving robots without any bending cable that emits particles with every movement. We want to test one possibility to ...
