We present results from an extensive experimental investigation into granular segregation of a shallow binary mixture in which particles are driven by frictional interactions with the surface of a vibrating horizontal tray. Three distinct phases of the mix ...
Calculations of the particle flux caused by neutrals originating from the edge are performed for TCV and JET using the one-dimensional kinetic transport code Kn1D. The analysis, confirmed by experimental evidence, shows that for TCV and JET edge fuelling a ...
We studied systematically aqueous suspensions of amorphous well-characterized silica particles by potentiometric titration, electrophoretic mobility, and time-resolved light scattering. Their charging behavior and aggregation rate constants were measured a ...
High resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of bovine trabecular bone fracture surfaces reveal individual fibrils coated with extrafibrillar mineral particles. The mineral particles are distinctly different in different regions. In some regions th ...
We apply the boundary element method to the analysis of the plasmon response of systems that consist of coupled metallic nanoscatterers. For systems made of two or more objects, the response depends strongly on the individual particle behavior as well as o ...
Nanostructured materials can be defined as those materials whose structural elements - clusters, crystallites or molecules - have dimensions in the 1-100 nm range. The explosion in both academic and industrial interest over the past 20 years arises from th ...
Illumination of nano- and micro-particles with a highly focused laser beam will exert a force on them that depends on different parameters, such as the particle size, refractive index and beam waist. In this paper rigorous diffraction theories are used to ...
We report the results of an experimental investigation of segregation in a binary mixture of dry particles subjected to horizontal oscillatory excitation. The thin layer of particles was driven by the stick-slip frictional interaction with the surface of a ...
Geant4 is a toolkit for simulating the passage of particles through matter. It includes a complete range of functionality including tracking, geometry, physics models and hits. The physics processes offered cover a comprehensive range, including electromag ...
The thermo-mechanical properties of hyperbranched polymer-epoxy blends and their dependence on hyperbranched polymer shell chemistry were investigated. Hyperbranched polymers were shown to be able to increase resin toughness by inducing both a heterogeneou ...
