The mid-infrared range is of interest in spectroscopic applications, due to the large number of organic compounds that exhibit characteristic absorption bands in this spectral region. Semiconductor technology, however, has been developed mainly for the nea ...
This paper reports on the fabrication of sub-micron trenches on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) required in many MEMS devices and on bulk silicon. Trenches in the range of 100-500 nm had been etched with the deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) by using the SHARP ( ...
Liquid–liquid phase separation occurs in young mammalian eye lenses and in concentrated solutions of isolated eye lens proteins, and has been linked to some forms of cataract. Here we study theoretically the protein compositions and cloud temperatures of t ...
We present results of molecular dynamics simulations performed on a Lennard-Jones liquid binary mixture confined in matrices of soft spheres at increasing packing fraction. We study the dynamical properties of the liquid at a given density upon supercoolin ...
A 3D multiphase-field (PhF) model has been developed in order to study the formation of a micropore constrained to grow in a solid network (i.e., pinching effect). The model accounts for the pressure difference due to capillarity between liquid and gas, th ...
This paper presents a novel in-liquid method to manipulate and micro-assemble MEMS in 3D by means of holographic optical trapping and hydrophobic interaction. Up to eight traps can be simultaneously generated with a trapping stiffness of 5 pN/mu m each. SU ...
The aim of this project work is to fabricate and evaluate a resonating silicon tube as a density and a Coriolis-based mass flow sensor. This project consists of three course works: a project work, a microelectronics project, and a master thesis. At first, ...
We investigate the properties of the Heisenberg S = 1 chain with bilinear and biquadratic interactions in a magnetic field using the density-matrix renormalization-group, Bethe ansatz, and field-theoretical considerations. In a large region of the paramete ...
Liquid-phase sintering (LPS) is an industrial process used to consolidate materials composed of two different kinds of metallic and/or ceramic powders. At constant temperature, the amount of the present liquid-phase is constant. However, the shape of parti ...
We introduce a novel tuning mechanism for optofluidic devices by embedding pressure driven actuator inside microfluidic chips. Multiple tunable optofluidic devices remotely controlled by the pressure of air or liquid were demonstrated. ...
