Thermodynamic bounds on time-reversal asymmetry

Quantifying irreversibility of a system using finite information constitutes a major challenge in stochastic thermodynamics. We introduce an observable that measures the time-reversal asymmetry between two states after a given time lag. Our central result ...

Mimicking Loading-Induced Cartilage Self-Heating in Vitro Promotes Matrix Formation in Chondrocyte-Laden Constructs with Different Mechanical Properties

Dominique Pioletti, Peyman Karami, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani, Theofanis Stampoultzis, Yanheng Guo

Articular cartilage presents a mechanically sensitive tissue. Chondrocytes, the sole cell type residing in the tissue, perceive and react to physical cues as signals that significantly modulate their behavior. Hyaline cartilage is a connective tissue with ...

Many-body physics with strongly interacting fermions coupled to light

Victor Youri Helson

This thesis reports on the realization of the first experiments conducted with superfluid, strongly interacting Fermi gases of 6Li coupled to the light field of an optical cavity. In the scope of existing ultracold atomic platforms, this is the first time ...

Water vapor transport in snowpacks

Mahdi Jafari

This thesis is an in-depth treatment of water vapor transport in snowpacks and its impacts on snow structure. The aim is to better understand this transport process and to lay the basis for a model representation in physics-based multi-layer snow models. O ...

From a week to less than a day: Speedup and scaling of coordinate-scaled exact exchange calculations in plane waves

Ursula Röthlisberger, Martin Peter Bircher

Exact exchange is a primordial ingredient in Kohn–Sham Density Functional Theory based Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations whenever thermodynamic properties, kinetics, barrier heights or excitation energies have to be predicted with high accuracy. However, ...

Non-equilibrium kinetics and trajectory thermodynamics of synthetic molecular pumps

Cristian Pezzato

A major goal in the design of synthetic molecular machines is the creation of pumps that can use the input of energy to transport material from a reservoir at low chemical potential to a different reservoir at higher chemical potential, thereby forming and ...

Kinematic and metallicity properties of the Aquarius dwarf galaxy from FORS2 MXU spectroscopy

Pascale Jablonka

Context. Dwarf galaxies found in isolation in the Local Group (LG) are unlikely to have interacted with the large LG spirals, and therefore environmental effects such as tidal and ram-pressure stripping should not be the main drivers of their evolution. Ai ...

Microfluidic-based linear-optics label-free imager

Demetri Psaltis

Linear optics based nanoscopy previously reached resolution beyond the diffraction limit, illuminating samples in the visible light regime while allowing light to interact with freely moving metallic nanoparticles. However, the hydrodynamics governing the ...

Hyperaccurate currents in stochastic thermodynamics

Daniel Maria Busiello

Thermodynamic observables of mesoscopic systems can be expressed as integrated empirical currents. Their fluctuations are bound by thermodynamic uncertainty relations. We introduce the hyperaccurate current as the integrated empirical current with the leas ...

Deciphering crystal packing effects in the spin crossover of six [Fe-II(2-pic)(3)]Cl-2 solvatomorphs

Sergio Vela Llausi

In this work we investigate how the crystal packing affects the spin crossover (SCO) of [Fe-II(2-pic)(3)]Cl-2. Four alcohol solvatomorphs of this compound have been reported to present a transition from a singlet low spin (LS, S = 0) to a quintet high spin ...
