Using a density-functional framework, we investigate the vibrational spectra of vitreous SiO2 to determine to what extent these spectra provide information about the medium-range structure of the oxide network. We carry out a comparative study involving th ...
Interest in plasmonic nanostructures has recently multiplied due to their extraordinary optical properties. When resonantly excited, these tiny metallic systems exhibit a strong and localized optical field enhancement. Applications exploiting this effect e ...
This paper investigates complex composite cellular structures featuring a chiral topology with the ability to undergo large overall displacements with limited straining of its components. Numerical analyses are performed to exploit such properties in the d ...
We report on a volume holographic imaging spectrometer (VHIS) system which allows retrieval of a scene's two-dimensional spatial information as well as its spectral information. This is performed using a transmission volume hologram and a simple rotary sca ...
The present paper investigates the reflection and transmission properties of piles of nonscattering sheets. Using a spectral prediction model, we perform a detailed analysis of the spectral and color variations induced by variations of the number of superp ...
We analyze the principal vibrational spectra of vitreous GeO2 and derive therefrom structural properties referring to length scales beyond the basic tetrahedral unit. We generate a model structure that yields a neutron structure factor in accord with exper ...
Disordered oxides, such as vitreous silica (v-SiO2) and vitreous germania, (v-GeO2) and chalcogenide glasses, such as vitreous germanium diselenide (v-GeSe2) are currently key materials in many technological fields, ranging from Si-based microelectronic to ...
Using a density-functional approach, we calculate the principal vibrational spectra of vitreous SiO2 and vitreous GeO2 and discuss their analogies and differences. For both glasses, we generate model structures consisting of a random network of corner-shar ...
Plasma created during EDM is systematically investigated with optical emission spectroscopy. Typical spectra show a strong H,,, and continuum radiation, with many lines emitted by impurities coming from electrode and workpiece materials. The dielectric mol ...
This thesis is devoted to the study of Raman scattering from first-principles. We develop two different methods to calculate Raman spectra of large model structures. The first method concerns the extension of the perturbative variational approach for the c ...
