Spatial symmetries in nonlocal multipolar metasurfaces

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Ville Tuovi Tiukuvaara

We propose a framework that connects the spatial symmetries of a metasurface to its material parameter tensors and its scattering matrix. This provides a simple and universal way to effortlessly determine the properties of a metasurface scattering response ...

Examples of normal, not geometrically normal, projective Gorenstein del Pezzo surfaces with at most Du Val singularities

Ursina Schweizer

While over fields of characteristic at least 5, a normal, projective and Gorenstein del Pezzo surface is geometrically normal, this does not hold for characteristic 2 and 3. There is no characterization of all such non-geometrically normal surfaces, but th ...

Effects of spanwise confinement on stratified shear instabilities

François Gallaire, Yves-Marie François Ducimetière

We consider the influence of transverse confinement on the instability properties of velocity and density distributions reminiscent of those pertaining to exchange flows in stratified inclined ducts, such as the recent experiment of Lefauve et al. [J. Flui ...

Leveraging Spatial and Photometric Context for Calibrated Non-Lambertian Photometric Stereo

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, David Honzátko

The problem of estimating a surface shape from its observed reflectance properties still remains a challenging task in computer vision. The presence of global illumination effects such as inter-reflections or cast shadows makes the task particularly diffic ...

Voss surfaces: A design space for geodesic gridshells

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne, Olivier Baverel

The design of envelopes with complex geometries often leads to construction challenges. To overcome these difficulties, resorting to discrete differential geometry proved successful by establishing close links between mesh properties and the existence of g ...

Infrared Activities of Adsorbed Species on Metal Surfaces: The Puzzle of Adsorbed Methyl (CH3)

Rainer Beck, Harmina Vejayan

Reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) is widely used to identify molecular adsorbates on metals during surface chemical reactions, but the interpretation of RAIRS data can be difficult with experiment alone. Here, we reveal from first-princip ...

Orientation‐Engineered Small‐Molecule Semiconductors as Dopant‐Free Hole Transporting Materials for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Hong Zhang, Zhiwen Zhou, Miao Chen

Crystallized p-type small-molecule semiconductors have great potential as efficient and stable hole transporting materials (HTMs) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to their relatively high hole mobility, good stability and tunable HOMOs depending on th ...

Non-contact polishing of a crystalline layer or substrate by ion beam etching

Niels Quack, Teodoro Graziosi, Sichen Mi

Polishing method comprising the steps of: - providing at least one crystalline layer or substrate, the at least one crystalline layer or substrate extending in at least one plane, and including at least one outer surface and at least one depression extendi ...

Benchmarking of the plane-to-plane metric

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evangelos Alexiou

In this report we benchmark the plane-to-plane objective quality metric. This is, a metric that measures the angular similarity of tangent planes between two point cloud models and relies on normal vectors that are carried with associated pairs of points. ...

Shape Reconstruction by Learning Differentiable Surface Representations

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Shaifali Parashar, Jan Bednarík, Erhan Gündogdu

Generative models that produce point clouds have emerged as a powerful tool to represent 3D surfaces, and the best current ones rely on learning an ensemble of parametric representations. Unfortunately, they offer no control over the deformations of the su ...
