Excitonic absorption and defect-related emission in three-dimensional MoS2 pyramids

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Luca Francaviglia, Marco Negri

MoS2 micro-pyramids have demonstrated interesting properties in the fields of photonics and non-linear optics. In this work, we show the excitonic absorption and cathodoluminescence (CL) emission of MoS2 micro-pyramids grown by chemical vapor deposition (C ...

On the Influence of an Elevated Terrain on the Grounding Resistance of a Vertical Rod

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga

In this paper, we analyze the grounding resistance of a vertical grounding rod located in an elevated terrain. Tall structures such as wind turbines and mobile phone base stations are often installed in remote and hilly locations to gain more power or to f ...

Particle-Based Numerical Manifold Method to Model Dynamic Fracture Process in Rock Blasting

Jian Zhao, Qianbing Zhang, Xing Li

A particle-based numerical manifold method (PNMM) is developed to investigate rock fracturing behavior under dynamic loading. The basic idea of PNMM is to represent the microstructure of rock with a group of particles and to simulate the macroscopic behavi ...

Mechanism and energetics of < c plus a > dislocation cross-slip in hcp metals

William Curtin, Zhaoxuan Wu

Hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals such as Mg, Ti, and Zr are lightweight and/or durable metals with critical structural applications in the automotive (Mg), aerospace (Ti), and nuclear (Zr) industries. The hcp structure, however, brings significant compl ...

Plasticity of the dense hydrous magnesium silicate phase A at subduction zones conditions

Elodie Adeline Amiguet, Yi Wang

The plasticity of the dense hydrous magnesium silicate (DHMS) phase A, a key hydrous mineral within cold subduction zones, was investigated by two complementary approaches: high-pressure deformation experiments and computational methods. The deformation ex ...

Surface 3D Micro Free Forms: Multifunctional Microstructured Mesoporous alpha-Alumina by in Situ Slip Casting Using Excimer Laser Ablated Polycarbonate Molds

Paul Bowen, Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Sriharitha Rowthu

Ceramic surface microstructuring is a rapidly growing field with a variety of applications in tribology, wetting, biology, and so on. However, there are limitations to large-area microstructuring and fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) micro free forms. ...

First-principles core structures of < c+a > edge and screw dislocations in Mg

William Curtin, Maryam Ghazisaeidi

The core structures of < c + a > edge and screw dislocations in Mg are computed using density functional theory (DFT). Both types dissociate into two 1/2 < c + a > partials on the second-order pyramidal planes. These DFT results are then allowed to relax w ...

Discrete dislocation modeling of fracture in plastically anisotropic metals

William Curtin

The intrinsic lattice resistance to dislocation motion, or Peierls stress, depends on the core structure of the dislocation and is one essential feature controlling plastic anisotropy in materials such as HCP Zn, Mg, and Ti. Here, we implement an anisotrop ...

Analysis of dissociation of < c > and < c+a > dislocations to nucleate (1 0 -1 2) twins in Mg

William Curtin, Maryam Ghazisaeidi

A mechanism for (1 0 (1) over bar 2) twin nucleation in Mg is studied in which edge < c > and mixed < c + a > lattice dislocations dissociate into a stable twin, having at least the minimum 6-layer thickness formed by three glissile twinning dislocations, ...

Dilute-Nitride Low-Dimensional Nanostructures Formed on Non-Planar Substrates

Romain Carron

The properties of semiconductors heterostructures of nanoscopic dimensions change from that of bulk material according to the rules of quantum mechanics. The planar quantum wells (QWs) are widely used in various diode and laser devices thanks to the relati ...

Fine structure of exciton complexes in high-symmetry quantum dots: Effects of symmetry breaking and symmetry elevation

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Marc-André Dupertuis, Daniel Oberli

Quantum dots (QDs) of high symmetry (e.g., C3v) have degenerate bright exciton states, unlike QDs of C2v symmetry, making them intrinsically suitable for the generation of entangled photon pairs. Deviations from C3v symmetry are detected in real QDs by pol ...

Pyramid-Based Texture Synthesis Using Local Orientation and Multidimensional Histogram Matching

Michaël Unser, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Matthieu Guerquin-Kern

One very influential method for texture synthesis is based on the steerable pyramid by alternately imposing marginal statistics on the image and the pyramid's subbands. In this work, we investigate two extensions to this framework. First, we exploit the st ...

Fractional Laplacian Pyramids

Michaël Unser, Ricard Delgado Gonzalo, Pouya Dehghani Tafti

We provide an extension of the L-2-spline pyramid (Unser et al., 1993) using polyharmonic splines. We analytically prove that the corresponding error pyramid behaves exactly as a multi-scale Laplace operator. We use the multiresolution properties of polyha ...

Application of the Rappaz-Drezet-Gremaud Hot Tearing Criterion to Welding of Aluminium Alloys

Jean-Marie Drezet

Hot tearing, a severe defect occurring during solidification is the conjunction of tensile stresses which are transmitted to the mushy zone by the coherent solid underneath and of insufficient liquid feeding to compensate for the volumetric change. The RDG ...

Vectorial reconstruction of retinal blood flow in three dimensions measured with high resolution resonant Doppler Fourier domain optical coherence tomography

Theo Lasser, Cédric Blatter, Rainer Leitgeb, Martin Villiger, Adrian Bachmann, Roland Michaely

Resonant Doppler Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) is a functional imaging tool for extracting tissue flow. The method is based on the effect of interference fringe blurring in spectrometer-based FDOCT, where the path difference between s ...
