Tolerancing the surface form of aspheric microlenses manufactured by wafer-level optics techniques

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

Tolerancing is an important step toward the fabrication of high-quality and cost-effective lens surfaces. It is critical for wafer-level optics, when up to tens of thousands microlenses are fabricated in parallel and whose surfaces cannot be formed individ ...

Recent advances on sputtered films with Cu in ppm concentrations leading to an acceleration of the bacterial inactivation

Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi

This review focuses on the acceleration of the bactericidal and fungicidal effects by uniform, adhesive Cu-based nanocomposites on textile and thin polymer surfaces. The acceleration of the bacterial inactivation kinetics mediated by Cu, TiO2/Cu and ZrO2-T ...

Fractal surfaces in adhesive wear processes.

Jean-François Molinari, Enrico Milanese, Ramin Aghababaei, Tobias Brink

Wear of materials plays a key role in the durability of manifactured objects and it has thus an economical importance in our society. In spite of the efforts, a unified picture of the underlying physics of the phenomenon is still far from being reached, be ...

Interference of engineered nanomaterials in flow cytometry: A case study

Aurélie Walter

Nanotechnology is regarded as the enabling technology of the 21st century. However, only a relatively small number of nano-enabled medical and healthcare products finally made their way to the market. There are several reasons why such innovative approache ...

Extracting the interfacial free energy and anisotropy from a smooth fluctuating dividing surface

Michele Ceriotti, Gareth Aneurin Tribello, Edoardo Baldi

Interfaces between different materials and phases play a crucial role in many physical and chemical phenomena. When performing simulations of matter at the atomic scale, however, it is often not trivial to characterize these interfaces, particularly when t ...

Characterization of Surface State of Inert Particles: Case of Si and SiC

Hubert Girault, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Véronique Amstutz, Desire Martial Koutouan Abro

Silicon and Silicon carbide particles have been investigated by the mean of infrared (IR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to establish their surface states. The results of this research are based on the estimation of the area under ...

Rayleigh-Taylor instability under curved substrates: An optimal transient growth analysis

François Gallaire, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun

We investigate the stability of thin viscous films coated on the inside of a horizontal cylindrical substrate. In such a case, gravity acts both as a stabilizing force through the progressive drainage of the film and as a destabilizing force prone to form ...

Surface Structure and Chemistry of Alkanethiols on Au(100)-(1 x 1) Substrates

Klaus Kern

The surface structure of self-assembled monolayers of hexanethiolate (HT) on the Au(100)-(1 x 1) surface has been studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and their results compared to scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelect ...

Contact angle and adsorption energies of nanoparticles at the air-liquid interface determined by neutron reflectivity and molecular dynamics

Francesco Stellacci, Javier Reguera Gomez, Mauro Moglianetti, Evgeniy Ponomarev

Understanding how nanomaterials interact with interfaces is essential to control their self-assembly as well as their optical, electronic, and catalytic properties. We present here an experimental approach based on neutron reflectivity (NR) that allows the ...

Droplet impact and the dynamics of rapidly moving contact lines

John Martin Kolinski

When a~~liquid drop approaches a flat solid surface, the air~~beneath it is compressed,~~flattening the bottom of the drop and~~forcing initial contact to occur in a~~ring-shape, trapping a pocket~~of air in its center as two wetting fronts~~rapidly expand both~~o ...
