Activation Energies for the Rate-Limiting Step in Water Photooxidation by Nanostructured alpha-Fe2O3 and TiO2

Competition between charge recombination and the forward reactions required for water splitting limits the efficiency of metal-oxide photocatalysts. A key requirement for the photochemical oxidation of water on both nanostructured alpha-Fe2O3 and TiO2 is t ...

Generating mu and B mu in models with Dirac gauginos

We consider the extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model by Dirac masses for the gauginos. We study the possibility that the same singlet S that pairs up with the bino. to form a Dirac fermion, is used to generate it and Bit terms through its ...

Electrochemical promotion of CO combustion over non-percolated Pt particles supported on YSZ using a novel bipolar configuration

Christos Comninellis, Wolfgang Harbich, György Foti, Michael Hugentobler, Chun Xia

The electrochemical promotion of CO combustion over nano-dispersed Platinum particles supported on yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is investigated at 300 degrees C under high vacuum conditions. By polarizing the nanoparticles, we were able to enhance the ...

Investigation of the Pt/YSZ interface at low oxygen partial pressure by solid electrochemical mass spectroscopy under high vacuum conditions

Christos Comninellis, Wolfgang Harbich, György Foti, Cyril Falgairette, Chun Xia

The Pt/YSZ interface was investigated at low oxygen partial pressure under high vacuum (HV) conditions at 400 A degrees C. Two different electrochemical techniques were coupled to mass spectrometric gas analysis using a new solid electrochemical mass spect ...

Determination of the vacuum optomechanical coupling rate using frequency noise calibration

Tobias Kippenberg, Albert Schliesser

The strength of optomechanical interactions in a cavity optomechanical system can be quantified by a vacuum coupling rate g(0) analogous to cavity quantum electrodynamics. This single figure of merit removes the ambiguity in the frequently quoted coupling ...

Electromagnetic fields and beam coupling impedances in a multilayer flat chamber

Nicolas Frank Mounet

This paper aims at giving a derivation of the six electromagnetic field components created by an offset point charge travelling at any speed in a flat chamber, i.e. a two dimensional structure consisting of two infinite parallel plates surrounding a vacuum ...

No metastable de Sitter vacua in N=2 supergravity with only hypermultiplets

Claudio Scrucca

We study the stability of vacua with spontaneously broken supersymmetry in N = 2 supergravity theories with only hypermultiplets. Focusing on the projection of the scalar mass matrix along the sGoldstino directions, we are able to derive a universal upper ...

Standard Model Higgs boson mass from inflation

Amaury Magnin

We analyse one-loop radiative corrections to the inflationary potential in the theory, where inflation is driven by the Standard Model Higgs field. We show that inflation is possible provided the Higgs mass mH lies in the interval mmin < mH < mmax, where m ...

De Sitter vacua in no-scale supergravities and Calabi-Yau string models

Claudio Scrucca

We perform a general analysis on the possibility of obtaining metastable vacua with spontaneously broken N = 1 supersymmetry and non-negative cosmological constant in the moduli sector of string models. More specifically, we study the condition under which ...

Constraints on modular inflation in supergravity and string theory

Claudio Scrucca

We perform a general algebraic analysis on the possibility of realising slow-roll inflation in the moduli sector of string models. This problem turns out to be very closely related to the characterisation of models admitting metastable vacua with non-negat ...
