Beyond the coupled distortion model: structural analysis of the single domain cupredoxin AcoP, a green mononuclear copper centre with original features

Cupredoxins are widely occurring copper-binding proteins with a typical Greek-key beta barrel fold. They are generally described as electron carriers that rely on a T1 copper centre coordinated by four ligands provided by the folded polypeptide. The discov ...

Multiscale enhancement of refrigerant falling film boiling by combining commercially enhanced tubes with nanostructures

John Richard Thome

Multiscale surface structures offer the opportunity to combine the heat transfer enhancement provided by microscale structures with the dryout benefits provided by some nanostructures, which is particularly attractive for falling film evaporators, who have ...

Experimental study of stability, quench propagation and detection methods on 15 kA sub-scale HTS fusion conductors in SULTAN

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Nikolay Bykovskiy, Ortensia Dicuonzo

High-temperature superconductors (HTSs) enable exclusive operating conditions for fusion magnets, boosting their performance up to 20 T generated magnetic fields in the temperature range from 4 K to 20 K. One of the main technological issues of HTS conduct ...

Electromechanical investigations and quench experiments on sub-size HTS cables for high field EU-DEMO Central Solenoid

Ortensia Dicuonzo

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the mechanical and thermal behaviour of HTS coated conductor cables for EUROfusion DEMO magnets.One of the issue in large HTS magnets is the safety against a quench. A quench is a sudden thermal runway in which the ...

Application of Copper Thermal Spraying for Electrical Joints between Superconducting Nb3Sn Cables

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Vincenzo D'Auria

This manuscript reports on the application of copper thermal spraying in the manufacturing process of an electrical connection between Nb3Sn cables for superconducting magnets of fusion reactors. The joint is realized through diffusion bonding of the spray ...

Influence of thermo-mechanical processing on ordering kinetics in 18 karat red gold alloy

Marina Garcia Gonzalez

The aim of this project is to understand the correlation between alloy composition and the build-up of internal stresses in 18 carat Au-Ag-Cu alloys under thermo-mechanical loads. The copper rich end of this ternary system exhibits order-hardening of the e ...

Stability and Degradation Mechanisms of Copper-Based Catalysts for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction

Raffaella Buonsanti, Jan Vávra

To date, copper is the only monometallic catalyst that can electrochemically reduce CO2 into high value and energy-dense products, such as hydrocarbons and alcohols. In recent years, great efforts have been directed towards understanding how its nanoscale ...

Species-species interactions modulate copper toxicity under different visible light conditions

Valérie Gagnaux

Combination of biotic and abiotic factors influences the effects of naturally occurring or anthropogenic chemicals on photosynthetic microorganisms in the aquatic environment. Nonetheless, the combined effects of physical stressors and species-species inte ...

Radiation enhanced oxidation of proton-irradiated copper thin-films: Towards a new concept of ultra-high radiation dosimetry

Jean-Michel Sallese, Didier Bouvet, Georgi Gorine, Federico Ravotti

The effects of extreme radiation levels on the electrical resistivity of metal thin films made of copper were studied by means of electrical measurements and post irradiation imaging. Different 3x3 mm(2) chips were produced by depositing 500 nm of meander ...

Reconsidering traditional timber joinery for sustainable structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Timber construction plays an important role in architectural history, in modern construction methods and in sustainable design, for which wood-only joinery techniques have been used for centuries. Traditional joinery typologies are the product of successiv ...
