Electronic metadevices for terahertz applications

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Mohammad Samizadeh Nikooytabalvandani

The evolution of electronics has largely relied on downscaling to meet the continuous needs for faster and highly integrated devices(1). As the channel length is reduced, however, classic electronic devices face fundamental issues that hinder exploiting ma ...

Modelling and Sensors for Magnetically-Levitated Disc Drives

Juan Patricio Tomás Peralta Fierro

The development of new industrial applications has diverted the focus of research towards compacter and faster rotatory drives. These requirements push the classical ball-bearings of electric motors to the limits in terms of operational lifetime and fricti ...

Sommerfeld Integrals and Their Relation to the Development of Planar Microwave Devices

Krzysztof Michalski, Juan Ramon Mosig

This paper deals with the mathematical expressions called Sommerfeld integrals. Introduced by A. Sommerfeld in 1909, they are mathematically equivalent to inverse Hankel transforms. The original historical goal of these integrals was to provide an accurate ...

Multipolar origin of electromagnetic transverse force resulting from two-wave interference

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev

We propose a theoretical study on the electromagnetic forces resulting from the superposition of TE and TM plane waves interacting with a sphere. Specifically, we first show that, under such an illumination condition, the sphere is subjected to a force tra ...

Electrosorption at metal surfaces from first principles

Nicola Marzari

Electrosorption of solvated species at metal electrodes is a most fundamental class of processes in interfacial electrochemistry. Here, we use its sensitive dependence on the electric double layer to assess the performance of ab initio thermodynamics appro ...

EM Fields Generated by a Scale Model Helical Antenna and Its Use in Validating a Code for Lightning-Induced Voltage Calculation

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

This paper aims at validating a code for the evaluation of lightning-induced overvoltages developed in the PSCADEMTDC environment using experimental results obtained on an experimental facility deployed at the University of S˜ao Paulo, Brazil that emulates ...

Sampling the Multiple Facets of Light

Gilles Baechler

The theme of this thesis revolves around three important manifestations of light, namely its corpuscular, wave and electromagnetic nature. Our goal is to exploit these principles to analyze, design and build imaging modalities by developing new signal proc ...

Contribution to the study of the vulnerability of critical systems to Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI)

Nicolas Mora Parra

The progress of high power electromagnetic (HPEM) sources during the late 1990s raised the concern in the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) community that they could be deployed for criminal purposes to interfere with the operation of modern electronic s ...

The particle spectrum of parity-violating Poincare gravitational theory

Georgios Karananas

In this paper we investigate the physical spectrum of the gravitational theory based on the Poincare group with terms that are at most quadratic in tetrad and spin connection, allowing for the presence of parity-even as well as parity-odd invariants. We de ...

Magnetoelectric Ponderomotive Force

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Sylvain Bréchet, Alexandre Roulet

The dynamics of a system consisting of a matter continuum with a weak linear magnetoelectric coupling interacting with electromagnetic fields is examined on a local scale in a non-relativistic limit. A consistent expression for the internal energy of the s ...

Modes of a plasma-filled waveguide determined by a numerical hp method

Kurt Appert

We present the application of the recent physics-conforming COOL method [2,4] to the eigenvalue problem of a cylindrical waveguide filled with unmagnetized plasma. Using the Fourier transform only along the waveguide and not in poloidal direction, this is ...

Mode-Selective Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Using Nanofabricated Plasmonic Dipole Antennas

Olivier Martin, Holger Fischer, Thomas Schmid

Mode-selective surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is demonstrated using plasmonic dipole antennas fabricated with electron beam lithography. An similar to 10x change of the relative enhancement between two different Raman modes is observed when the ...
