Effects of Hyporheic Exchange and Settlement on the Particle Size Distribution of Colloids

Colloid particle size plays an important role in contaminant adsorption and clogging in the hyporheic zone, but it remains unclear how the particle size changes during the transport of colloids. This study investigated the variation of the particle size of ...

Size dependence of second-harmonic scattering from nanoparticles: Disentangling surface and electrostatic contributions

Sylvie Roke, Arianna Marchioro, Bingxin Chu

Polarimetric angle-resolved second-harmonic scattering (AR-SHS) is an all-optical tool enabling the study of unlabeled interfaces of nano-sized particles in an aqueous solution. As the second harmonic signal is modulated by interference between nonlinear c ...

The effect of high relative humidity on a network of water-sensitive particles (couscous) as revealed by in situ X-ray tomography

Gioacchino Viggiani

Water significantly influences the mechanical behaviour of all granular materials but none as much as hygroscopic amorphous particles. With sufficiently high water content, particles can swell, agglomerate and their mechanical properties can be reduced, ha ...

Surfactants Control Optical Trapping near a Glass Wall

Olivier Martin, Jeonghyeon Kim

Beyond their original capability to grab and hold tiny objects, optical tweezers have emerged as a powerful tool to investigate fundamental physics at microscopic scales. A precise characterization of the optical trap is one of the key requirements in such ...

Reciprocal Metasurfaces for On-axis Reflective Optical Computing

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Karim Achouri, Ali Momeni

Analog computing has emerged as a promising candidate for real-time and parallel continuous data processing. This paper presents a reciprocal way for realizing asymmetric optical transfer functions (OTFs) in the reflection side of the on-axis processing ch ...

Long-distance distributed pressure sensing based on frequency-scanned phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry

Luc Thévenaz, Zhisheng Yang, Li Zhang

In this paper, a long-distance distributed pressure sensing system based on a special fiber and using frequency-scanned phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry is proposed. The fiber shows high pressure sensitivity (159 MHz/bar) and low loss (3 d ...

Porous granules by freeze granulation of Pickering emulsions stabilized with halloysite particles

Paul Bowen

Pickering emulsions stabilized with a natural silicate mineral, halloysite, were dried by freeze granulation in order to prepare porous granules. Different formulations were studied, by varying the pH of the suspension, the ionic strength and with the addi ...

Fast and ultrafast electron microscopies for skyrmions and plasmonics

Gabriele Berruto

In recent years, topology gained a central role in physics. We learnt that energetics could be often explained better by classes of objects defined by having qualitative differences. In today's jargon, we say they are topologically distinct. The process of ...

Kinetic approach to the Schwinger effect during inflation

Oleksandr Sobol

Using the kinetic approach, we study the impact of the charged particle dynamics due to the Schwinger effect on the electric field evolution during inflation. As a simple model of the electric field generation, we consider the kinetic coupling of the elect ...
