Femtosecond laser-dielectric interaction in a three-dimensional (3D) manner defines a capable platform for integrated 3D micro-devices fabricated out of a single piece of system-material. Here, we add a new function to femtosecond laser-based single monoli ...
Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (MSMA) exhibit magnetic field- and stress-induced twinning when processed into single crystals, but are brittle and difficult to shape. Embedding slender single crystalline MSMA elements into a polymer matrix can thus prov ...
Multiferroic materials show, in a single phase, at least two ferroic properties. The latter are are (anti-)ferroelectricity, (anti-)ferromagnetism or (anti-)ferroelasticity. Interesting applications can use the properties of multiferroics, especially with ...
Magnetically-actuable, polymer-based variable optical attenuators (VOA) are presented in this paper. The design comprises a cantilever which also plays the role of a waveguide and the input/output alignment elements for simple alignment, yet still renderin ...
This thesis was carried out in the frame of the European project DetectHIV aiming the development of a new biosensor platform for the highly sensitive detection of the HIV capsid protein p24. We explore the implementation of a magnetic bead-based lab-on-a- ...
Magnetic manipulation of objects within the body is a growing field of research since the second half of the last century. Therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities offered by such technology are extended with the clinical need to make procedures less invasi ...
This paper presents a hybrid FEM-analytical model for the magnetic flux density, the force and torque of a Reaction Sphere (RS) actuator for satellite attitude control. The RS is a permanent magnet synchronous spherical actuator whose rotor is magnetically ...
Hybrid helical magnetic microrobots are achieved by sequential electrodeposition of a CoNi alloy and PPy inside a photoresist template patterned by 3D laser lithography. A controlled actuation of the microrobots by a rotating magnetic field is demonstrated ...
The omnipresence of electronic devices in our everyday life goes together with a trend that makes us always more immersed during their utilization. By immersion, we mean that during the development of a new product, it is more and more required to stimulat ...
In this thesis, we present development of the first magnetic model of the main Proton Synchrotron magnets. The operation of the machine and conducting research on increasing its performance require a significant amount of the magnetic field data for the op ...
