Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Controlled stripes of ultrafine ferroelectric domains

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev, Igor Stolichnov, Tomas Sluka, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Petr Yudin, Ludwig Feigl, Xiankui Wei, Mahamudu Mtebwa, Konstantin Shapovalov

In the pursuit of ferroic-based (nano) electronics, it is essential to minutely control domain patterns and domain switching. The ability to control domain width, orientation and position is a prerequisite for circuitry based on fine domains. Here, we deve ...

Nonlinearity in nanomechanical cantilevers

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo

Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is widely used to successfully predict the linear dynamics of micro-and nanocantilever beams. However, its capacity to characterize the nonlinear dynamics of these devices has not yet been rigorously assessed, despite its use in ...

Towards a Theory of Glue

Simon Bliudze

We propose and study the notions of behaviour type and composition operator making a first step towards the definition of a formal framework for studying behaviour composition in a setting sufficiently general to provide insight into how the component-base ...

The Coherence of Theories-Dependencies and Weights

Jingshi Li

One way to evaluate and compare rival but potentially incompatible theories that account for the same set of observations is coherence. In this paper we take the quantitative notion of theory coherence as proposed by [Kwok, et.al. 98] and broaden its found ...

River Networks as Ecological Corridors: a Complex Systems Perspective for Integrating Hydrologic, Geomorphological and Ecologic Dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo

This paper synthesizes recent works at the interface of hydrology, geomorphology, and ecology under an integrated framework of analysis with an aim for a general theory. It addresses a wide range of related topics, including biodiversity of freshwater fish ...

On the Role of Low-Energy CP Violation in Leptogenesis

Steve Blanchet

The link between low-energy CP violation and leptogenesis became more accessible with the understanding of flavor effects. However, a definite well-motivated model where such a link occurs was still lacking. Adjoint SU(5) is a simple grand unified theory w ...

Structural properties of amorphous GeSe2

Alfredo Pasquarello

By using first-principles molecular dynamics within density functional theory, we study the structural properties of amorphous GeSe2 at T = 300 K. The amorphous configurations have been obtained via cooling from the liquid state followed by extensive relax ...

Theory of trapped polaritons in patterned microcavities

Vincenzo Savona, Davide Sarchi, Pierre Lugan

We consider the system of a quantum well embedded in a planar semiconductor microcavity with a shallow circular mesa patterned on top of the cavity spacer. For this system we develop the linear coupling theory of polaritons. We then compute polariton eigen ...

Observational manifestations of anomaly inflow

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

In theories with chiral couplings, one of the important consistency requirements is that of the cancellation of a gauge anomaly. In particular, this is one of the conditions imposed on the hypercharges in the standard model. However, anomaly cancellation c ...

Anomalies in orbifold field theories

Claudio Scrucca

We study the constraints on models with extra dimensions arising from local anomaly cancellation. We consider a five-dimensional field theory with a U(I) gauge field and a charged fermion, compactified on the orbifold S-1/(Z(2) x Z(2)'). We show that, even ...
