Operating Temperatures and Diurnal Temperature Variations of Modules Installed in Open-Rack and Typical BIPV Configurations
Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Andrew Wayne Fairbrother
Because of building skin integration with restricted or reduced rear-side ventilation, elevated operating temperatures are expected in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) modules and systems, which may impact their long performance and reliability. Th ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2022Plasmonic nanobar-on-mirror antenna with giant local chirality: a new platform for ultrafast chiral single-photon emission
Providing an additional degree of freedom for binary information encoding and nonreciprocal information transmission, chiral single photons have become a new research frontier in quantum optics. Without using complex external conditions (e.g., magnetic fie ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2022Fabrication of micrometer-sized drops as templates for particles
Drops are omnipresent in our daily life for example in the form of rain drops or as oil drops in a salad dressing. On a technological basis, drops can be used to conduct chemical or biological reactions. These drops often serve as templates to produce mate ...
EPFL2021Atomistic origins of the limited phase stability of Cs+-rich FAxCs(1-x)PbI3 mixtures
Michael Graetzel, David Lyndon Emsley, Ursula Röthlisberger, Ariadni Boziki, Simone Meloni, Dominik Józef Kubicki, Aditya Mishra
Mixed cation perovskites, [HC(NH2)2]xCs(1-x)PbI3, (FAxCs(1-x)PbI3) with x=0.8 achieve high solar cell power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) while exhibiting long-term stability under ambient conditions. In this work, we perform density functional theory (DF ...
ACS2020Numerical and experimental investigations on non-contacting seals for small-scale applications
Dynamic non-contacting seals have been identified as the most appropriate sealing technology for reduced-scale and high-speed turbomachinery applications since they provide a clearance gap preventing rotor-to-seal contact during operation. Yet, any clearan ...
EPFL2020Colloidal copper-based nanocrystals: synthesis and mechanistic studies.
The growing interest in nanotechnology stems from its promise of developing new materials and devices by taking advantage of unique phenomena emerging at the nanoscale. In this size regime, parameters like size and shape strongly impact the physico-chemica ...
EPFL2020Mineral equilibria and thermodynamic uncertainties in the geothermometrical characterisation of carbonate geothermal systems of low temperature. The case of the Alhama-Jaraba system (Spain)
Geothermometrical characterisation of low-temperature, carbonate-evaporitic geothermal systems is usually hampered by the lack of appropriate mineral equilibria to successfully use most of the classical geothermometers and/or by the thermodynamic uncertain ...
2019Variations in elastic and electrical properties of crustal rocks with varying degree of microfracturation
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Lucas Xan Pimienta, Luis Felipe Orellana Espinoza
This work aims at investigating the effect of varying degrees of microfracturing on the joint elastic and electrical transport properties of rocks. Different crustal rocks were subjected to Thermal Treatment, expected to induce microfracturing, up to diffe ...
2019A Magnetic Continuum Device with Variable Stiffness for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dario Floreano, Alice Tonazzini
One of the challenges of minimally invasive surgery is the dexterous manipulation and precise control of small diameter continuum surgical instruments. In this paper, a magnetic continuum device with variable stiffness (VS) is presented, whose tip can be p ...
2019Fluorescent Nanodiamonds as Versatile Intracellular Temperature Sensors
Aleksandra Radenovic, Vytautas Navikas, Evgenii Glushkov
Temperature is a widely known phenomenon, which plays an extremely important role in biological systems. Its behavior on the macro-scale has been quite well investigated and understood, thanks to the availability of reliable and precise thermometers such a ...
