High Aspect Ratio Au Microflakes via Gap-Assisted Synthesis

Giulia Tagliabue, Fateme Kiani Shahvandi

Ultrathin and extra-large single-crystalline Au microflakes (Au MFs) have a huge potential in applications ranging from nanophotonics to catalysis. Yet, wet chemical synthesis approaches cannot access this size range due to the proportionality between grow ...

Neural System Level Synthesis: Learning over All Stabilizing Policies for Nonlinear Systems

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Luca Furieri, Clara Lucía Galimberti

We address the problem of designing stabilizing control policies for nonlinear systems in discrete-time, while minimizing an arbitrary cost function. When the system is linear and the cost is convex, the System Level Synthesis (SLS) approach offers an effe ...

Dampened expectations in the Phillips Curve: A note

Charles Cosme Henri Dennery

Dampened inflation expectations have a significant impact on the New Keynesian Phillips Curve. This dampening not only flattens the long run Phillips Curve, but it can also lead to a bias in the estimation of its short run slope. It also affects the respon ...

Effects of 3D Ideal MHD Equilibrium Geometry on Neoclassical Properties in Tokamaks: Exploring Bootstrap Current and Impurity Accumulation

Madhusudan Raghunathan

This thesis concentrates on investigating the presence of 3D ideal MHD instabilities, particularly a saturated 1/1 ideal internal kink, on neoclassical phenomena such as the bootstrap current and heavy impurity transport. The MHD equilibria are generated u ...

Expectations-driven cycles in the housing market

Luisa Lambertini

This paper explores the transmission of "news shocks" in a model of the housing market and shows that anticipated signals or beliefs of future macroeconomic developments can generate boom-bust cycles in the housing market and lead to business cycle fluctua ...

Rhodium(III)/Copper(II)-Promoted trans-Selective Heteroaryl Acyloxylation of Alkynes: Stereodefined Access to trans-Enol Esters

Nicolai Cramer, Van Manh Pham

Enol esters are versatile synthetic building blocks which can be elaborated by a wide variety of transformations. The classical synthesis by O-selective enolate acylation often hampers control of the E/Z selectivity with highly substituted substrates. A rh ...

Financial Frictions within the Macroeconomy : Policy Analysis from an Empirical and Theoretical Perspective

Victoria Nuguer

Financial factors are central to the recent economic crisis. Most macroeconomic models treat banks and financial intermediation as a veil. These models are unable to account for the recent financial crisis and they cannot be used for policy evaluation. Fin ...

Toroidal drift precession and wave - particle interaction in shaped tokamaks with infinite beta and neoclassical equilibrium effects

Jonathan Graves

The drift kinetic equation is analysed for linear instabilities that are sensitive to the toroidal drift motion of long-mean free path particle populations. The interaction Lagrangian is resolved, and the toroidal drift precession evaluated for realistic t ...
