Fabrication method of functional micro/nano structures over large-area, flexible and high curvature surfaces, by drawing a fiber from a preform

Fabien Sorin, Wei Yan, Alexis Gérald Page, Yunpeng Qu, Dang Tùng Nguyen

The method for drawing a fiber with a textured surface comprises the following steps: - forming of a preform from which the fiber is to be drawn with a textured surface; - addition of an outer layer to the textured preform to preserve the shape of the text ...

Nanoscopy in nonlinear scanning fluorescence imaging systems

Grégoire Pierre Jean Laporte

In the last 30 years, superresolution in optical microscopy has been a major field of research. During this time, different techniques have been created to break the diffraction limit in order to make observations at a nanometric scale. Given that optical ...

Hard-sphere colloids are model systems in which to study the glass transition and universal properties of amorphous solids. Using covariance matrix analysis to determine the vibrational modes, we experimentally measure here the scaling behavior of the dens ...

Characterization of Grey Cast Iron-Steel Tribo-system under Starved Lubrication Conditions

Fatemeh Saeidi

Reducing friction and wear is essential for building efficient systems with low energy consumption and a long lifetime. Surface texturing is one of the methods to reduce friction and wear, especially in oil-lubricated systems. However, there is still a lac ...

Hexagonal OsB2: Sintering, microstructure and mechanical properties

Martin Guillermo Mueller, Nina Orlovskaya

The metastable high pressure ReB2-type hexagonal OsB2 bulk ceramics was produced by spark plasma sintering. The phase composition, microstructure, and mechanical behavior of the sintered OsB2 were studied by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, TEM, SEM, ...

In situ X-ray Diffraction during Casting: Study of Hot Tearing in Al-Zn alloys

Jean-Marie Drezet, Güven Kurtuldu, Bastien Gilbert Pierre Mireux

During solidification of metallic alloys, coalescence corresponds to the formation of solid bridges between grains when both solid and liquid phases are percolated. As such, it represents a key transition with respect to the mechanical behaviour of solidif ...

Measurement of Mechanical Coherency Temperature and Solid Volume Fraction in Al-Zn Alloys Using In Situ X-ray Diffraction During Casting

Jean-Marie Drezet, Güven Kurtuldu, Bastien Gilbert Pierre Mireux

During solidification of metallic alloys, coalescence leads to the formation of solid bridges between grains or grain clusters when both solid and liquid phases are percolated. As such, it represents a key transition with respect to the mechanical behavior ...

We present an algorithm to spatially register two volumetric datasets related via a rigid-body transform and degraded by an anisotropic point-spread-function (PSF). Registration is necessary, for example, when fusing data in multi-view microscopy. Automati ...

The rigidity temperature of a solidifying alloy is the temperature at which the solid plus liquid phases are sufficiently coalesced to transmit long range tensile strains and stresses. It determines the point at which thermally induced deformations start t ...
