Unique corrosion behavior of an archaeological Roman iron ring: Microchemical characterization and thermodynamic considerations
Stefano Mischler, Laura Brambilla
The corrosion mechanisms of a Roman iron bezel ring were investigated by in-depth characterization of its uncommon corrosion pattern and thermodynamic modelling. A silver foil and altered glass remnants were identified, covered with thick strata of magneti ...
2024Precipitation, Characterization, Kinetic, and Thermodynamic Modelling of Synthetic C-S-H Systems (C-S-H, CASH, CSH+$)
This thesis investigates the effects of aluminates, sulfates, and heterogeneous substrates on the nucleation and growth of synthetic calcium-silicate-hydrates (C-S-H) produced by dropwise precipitation. The use of synthetic C-S-H, separate from other cemen ...
EPFL2022Thermalization and hydrodynamics of two-dimensional quantum field theories
We consider 2d QFTs as relevant deformations of CFTs in the thermodynamic limit. Using causality and KPZ universality, we place a lower bound on the timescale characterizing the onset of hydrodynamics. The bound is determined parametrically in terms of the ...
2022On the Application of Small-Scale Turbines in Industrial Steam Networks
François Maréchal, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Ansgar Weickgenannt
This study investigates the technical and economic feasibility of replacing throttling valves with smale-scale, oil-free turbomachinery in industrial steam networks. This is done from the perspective of the turbomachine, which has to be integrated into a n ...
2021Characterising Structure and Stability of Materials using Machine Learning
The search of novel materials using in-silico high-throughput screening is emerging as a fundamental step in the pipeline of materials discovery, but its low yields in terms of synthesisable structures limit its effectiveness. In order to isolate configura ...
EPFL2020Inexpensive modeling of quantum dynamics using path integral generalized Langevin equation thermostats
Michele Ceriotti, Jinggang Lan, David Mark Wilkins, Venkat Kapil
The properties of molecules and materials containing light nuclei are affected by their quantum mechanical nature. Accurate modeling of these quantum nuclear effects requires computationally demanding path integral techniques. Considerable success has been ...
