Latent Mechanisms of Polarization Switching from In Situ Electron Microscopy Observations
Vasiliki Tileli, Reinis Ignatans
In situ scanning transmission electron microscopy enables observation of the domain dynamics in ferroelectric materials as a function of externally applied bias and temperature. The resultant data sets contain a wealth of information on polarization switch ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2022Tribological Approach to the Watch Movements
Valentine Agnès Madeleine Magnin
Mechanical watches are complex and sensitive systems that have to maintain a faultless precision over their lifetime. However, this precision can be altered by disturbances occurring during the functioning time, such as friction, lubricant drying, or wear, ...
EPFL2020Roadmap on optical rogue waves and extreme events
Krassimir Panajotov, Yiqi Zhang
The pioneering paper 'Optical rogue waves' by Solli et al (2007 Nature 450 1054) started the new subfield in optics. This work launched a great deal of activity on this novel subject. As a result, the initial concept has expanded and has been enriched by n ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2016Architecture Without Content 9: The Difficult Double
Dries Rodet, Giovanni Alessandro Piovene Porto Godi, Kersten Geers, Andrea Zanderigo, Jelena Pancevac
The culture of architecture is based on misunderstandings and tweaked stories. Bad reading, simplification and superficial interpretation of something far away, both in space and time, has been the engine of quite many of the avant-gardes of the recent pas ...
2014Keynote lecture - Potential, limits and perspectives of physical and numerical modelling
In the 19th Century, hydraulic engineering was typically addressed in two parallel approaches. On one hand, classical theoretical fluid mechanics with the use of analytical approaches to study various flow occurrences. Due to the difficulty and complexity ...
2014Energetic particle instabilities in fusion plasmas
Ambrogio Fasoli, Mario Ludovico Podesta
Remarkable progress has been made in diagnosing energetic particle instabilities on present-day machines and in establishing a theoretical framework for describing them. This overview describes the much improved diagnostics of Alfven instabilities and mode ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2013Observation of shell effects in superconducting nanoparticles of Sn
In a zero-dimensional superconductor, quantum size effects(1,2) (QSE) not only set the limit to superconductivity, but are also at the heart of new phenomena such as shell effects, which have been predicted to result in large enhancements of the supercondu ...
2010Full-body illusions and minimal phenomenal selfhood
We highlight the latest research on body perception and self-consciousness, but argue that despite these achievements, central aspects have remained unexplored, namely, global aspects of bodily self-consciousness. Researchers investigated central represent ...
Elsevier2009Perceived speed differences explain apparent compression in slit viewing
When a figure moves behind a stationary narrow slit, observers often report seeing the figure as an integrated whole, a phenomenon known as slit viewing or anorthoscopic perception. Interestingly, in slit viewing, the figure is perceived compressed along t ...
Elsevier2008Modélisation analytique multiphysique pour la conception optimale de moteurs synchrones à aimants permanents
During the last years, permanent magnets synchronous motors have become a reference in the industrial world, both from the economical and the technical point of view, because of their very good performance in both regards. Thus, application of specific met ...
