Light Emission and Conductance Fluctuations in Electrically Driven and Plasmonically Enhanced Molecular Junctions
Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Konstantin Malchow, Wen Chen, Sakthi Priya Amirtharaj
Electrically connected and plasmonically enhanced molecular junctions combine the optical functionalities of high field confinement and enhancement (cavity function), and of high radiative efficiency (antenna function) with the electrical functionalities o ...
Amer Chemical Soc2024Exploring and mapping the diffuse interstellar band at 862nm
Context. Di ffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are common interstellar absorption features in spectroscopic observations but their origins remain unclear. DIBs play an important role in the life cycle of the interstellar medium (ISM) and can also be used to t ...
2023The formation of the faintest galaxies in cosmological simulations: from the impact of primordial magnetic fields to the metal enrichment of present day dwarfs by first stars
In the theory of the bottom-up assembly of cosmic structures, one of the main challenges is to connect the smallest, most inconspicuous galaxies we observe today to the building blocks of more massive galaxies such as our own, the Milky Way. Do these so-ca ...
EPFL2023Observational signatures of galactic turbulent dynamos
We analyse the observational signatures of galactic magnetic fields that are self-consistently generated in magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the interstellar medium through turbulence driven by supernova (SN) explosions and differential rotation. In part ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022Load cell with positive, negative and zero stiffness operating modes for milli- to nanonewton contact force monitoring in electrical probing
Monolithic integrated circuits (ICs) have been miniaturized over the past five decades, and today their components range in size from hundreds of microns to several nanometers. Making point contact with electrical samples under a microscope is referred to ...
EPFL2022Probing the buckling of pressurized spherical shells
Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Arefeh Abbasi
The prediction of the critical buckling conditions of shell structures is plagued by imperfection sensitivity. Non-destructive testing through point-load probing has been recently proposed to map the stability landscape of cylindrical shells. However, the ...
