Metamaterial graphene photodetector with bandwidth exceeding 500 gigahertz

Although graphene has met many of its initially predicted optoelectronic, thermal, and mechanical properties, photodetectors with large spectral bandwidths and extremely high frequency responses remain outstanding. In this work, we demonstrate a >500 gigah ...

Benchmark exercise on image-based permeability determination of engineering textiles: Microscale predictions

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Guillaume Clément Broggi

Permeability measurements of engineering textiles exhibit large variability as no standardization method currently exists; numerical permeability prediction is thus an attractive alternative. It has all advantages of virtual material characterization, incl ...

Out-of-plane permeability measurement for reinforcement textiles: A benchmark exercise

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Damiano Salvatori

The out-of-plane permeability of two glass fibre fabrics was measured by 26 institutions using silicone oil as a test fluid. Participants in this study were free to select the test procedure, specimen dimensions and data analysis method, provided that test ...

Climate change effects on groundwater recharge and temperatures in Swiss alluvial aquifers

Adrien Michel

Climate change will have both quantitative and qualitative effects on groundwater resources. These impacts differ for aquifers in solid and unconsolidated rock, in urban or rural locations, and in the principal processes of groundwater recharge. Having kno ...

Centimeter-scale gas-sieving nanoporous single-layer graphene membrane

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Luc Sébastien Bondaz, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Shiqi Huang, Guangwei He, Wan-Chi Lee

High-permeance, molecular-sieving, nanoporous single-layer graphene (NSLG) membranes are highly promising for gas separation. However, the formation of cracks during the transfer of NSLG to a low-cost porous support is difficult to avoid. These cracks are ...

Effects of large macropores on soil evaporation in salt marshes

David Andrew Barry

The occurrence of macropores in salt marsh sediments is a natural and ubiquitous phenomenon. Although they are widely assumed to affect pore-water flow in salt marshes significantly, the mechanisms involved and their extent are not well understood. We cond ...

Cloaking property of a plasmonic structure in doubly complementary media and three-sphere inequalities with partial data

Hoài-Minh Nguyên

We investigate cloaking property of negative-index metamaterials in the time-harmonic electromagnetic setting for the so-called doubly complementary media. These are media consisting of negative-index metamaterials in a shell (plasmonic structure) and posi ...

Quantitative robustness analysis of topological edge modes in C6 and valley-Hall metamaterial waveguides

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Bakhtiyar Orazbayev

Recent advances in designing time-reversal-invariant photonic topological insulators have been extended down to the deep subwavelength scale, by employing synthetic photonic matter made of dense periodic arrangements of subwavelength resonant scatterers. I ...

The invisibility via anomalous localized resonance of a source for electromagnetic waves

Hoài-Minh Nguyên

We investigate the invisibility via anomalous localized resonance of a general source in anisotropic media for electromagnetic waves. To this end, we first introduce the concept of doubly complementary media in the electromagnetic setting. These are media ...
