van der Waals Materials for Overcoming Fundamental Limitations in Photonic Integrated Circuitry

Arslan Mazitov

With the advance of on-chip nanophotonics, there is a high demand for high-refractive-index and low-loss materials. Currently, this technology is dominated by silicon, but van der Waals (vdW) materials with a high refractive index can offer a very advanced ...

Spun fibres: a quasi circularly birefringent medium

Luc Thévenaz, Ana Gabriela Correa Mena, Xu Cheng

A simplified model describing the polarisation characteristics of spun fibres is proposed, aiming at determining how close to a circularly birefringent medium such a fibre is. This is of crucial importance regarding the interest of such a medium for magnet ...

Exploring Novel Modalities for Optical Diffraction Tomography

Amirhossein Saba Shirvan

In the past decade, optical diffraction tomography has gained a lot of attention for its ability to create label-free three-dimensional (3D) images of the refractive index distribution of biological samples using scattered fields measured through holograph ...

General invariance and equilibrium conditions for lattice dynamics in 1D, 2D, and 3D materials

Nicola Marzari, Changpeng Lin, Samuel Poncé

The long-wavelength behavior of vibrational modes plays a central role in carrier transport, phonon-assisted optical properties, superconductivity, and thermomechanical and thermoelectric properties of materials. Here, we present general invariance and equ ...

Acoustic birefringence via non-Eulerian metamaterials

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

The recently proposed concept of metamaterials has opened exciting venues to control wave-matter interactions in unprecedented ways. Here, we demonstrate the relevance of metamaterials for inducing acoustic birefringence, a phenomenon which has already fou ...

Parallel integro-differential equation solving via multi-channel reciprocal bianisotropic metasurface augmented by normal susceptibilities

Karim Achouri, Ali Momeni

Analog optical signal processing has dramatically transcended the speed and energy limitations accompanied with its digital microelectronic counterparts. Motivated by recent metasurface?s evolution, the angular scattering diversity of a reciprocal passive ...

Magnetism and Atomic Scale Structure of Bimetallic Nanostructures at Surfaces

Sergio Vlaic

his thesis reports on the magnetic properties of bi- and tri-metallic nanostructures at surfaces. The main goal is to build the smallest nanostructure ferromagnetic at room temperature and the assembly of those structures in high density arrays. To this pu ...
