Bridging scales in wear modeling with volume integral methods for elastic-plastic contact
All mechanical systems, naturally occurring or human-produced, are subjected to friction and wear at the interface of solid constituents. Large portions of energy dissipation and loss of material, in every-day life and industrial applications alike, are du ...
EPFL2020Carbon Nanomaterials from Oligoyne Surfactants
Carbonaceous nanocoatings such as diamond-like amorphous carbon or graphene layers exhibit remarkable properties in multiple fields, ranging from corrosion protection to electronics and lubrication. However, they are typically deposited from the vapor phas ...
EPFL20203D Ordering at the Liquid-Solid Polar Interface of Nanowires
Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Michele Ceriotti, Cécile Hébert, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Martin George Friedl, Luca Francaviglia, Mahdi Zamani, Nicolas Tappy, Sara Marti Sanchez, Giulio Imbalzano, Lea Ghisalberti
The nature of the liquid-solid interface determines the characteristics of a variety of physical phenomena, including catalysis, electrochemistry, lubrication, and crystal growth. Most of the established models for crystal growth are based on macroscopic t ...
2020Hexayne Amphiphiles and Bolaamphiphiles
Rosario Scopelliti, Holger Frauenrath, Enzo Jean Raymond Bomal, Reuben Yeo Jueyuan, Vincent Matthieu Guillaume Croué
Oligoynes with two or more conjugated carbon-carbon triple bonds are useful precursors for carbon-rich nanomaterials. However, their range of app0lications has so far been severly limited by the challenging syntheses, particularly in the case of oligoynes ...
2020Colliders and conformal interfaces
Marco Meineri, Antonin Tancrède Amaury Rousset
We set up a scattering experiment of matter against an impurity which separates two generic one-dimensional critical quantum systems. We compute the flux of reflected and transmitted energy, thus defining a precise measure of the transparency of the interf ...
