Structural Screening and Design of Platinum Nanosamples for Oxygen Reduction

Nanocatalyst-by-design promises to empower the next generation of electrodes for energy devices. However, current numerical methods consider individual and often geometrical closed-shell nanoparticles, neglecting how the coexistence of several and structur ...

A Low-Parametric Rhombic Microstructure Family for Irregular Lattices

Francis Julian Panetta

New fabrication technologies have significantly decreased the cost of fabrication of shapes with highly complex geometric structure. One important application of complex fine-scale geometric structures is to create variable effective elastic material prope ...

New dense superball packings in three dimensions

Maria Margarethe Dostert

We construct a new family of lattice packings for superballs in three dimensions (unit balls for the l(3)(p) norm) with p epsilon (1, 1.58]. We conjecture that the family also exists for p epsilon (1.58, log(2) 3 = 1.5849625 ...]. Like in the densest latti ...

Sparse Spline Approximation on the Hypersphere by Generalised Total Variation Basis Pursuit

Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

Many scientific inquiries in natural sciences involve approximating a spherical field –namely a scalar quantity defined over a continuum of directions– from generalised samples of the latter. Typically, a convex optimisation problem is formulated in terms ...

Deforming Tessellations for the Segmentation of Cell Aggregates

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Anaïs Laure Marie-Thérèse Badoual, Aymeric Alexandre Galan

We present a new active contour to segment cell aggregates. We describe it by a smooth tessellation that is attracted toward the cell membranes. Our approach relies on subdivision schemes that are tightly linked to the theory of wavelets. The shape is enco ...

Possibility of an unconventional spin state of Ir4+ in Ba21Ir9O43 single crystal

László Forró, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Oleg Yazyev, Alla Arakcheeva, Ivica Zivkovic, Bálint Náfrádi, Lin Yang, Andrea Pisoni, Sergiy Katrych, Jacim Jacimovic, Noore Elahi Shaik

We report the synthesis of single crystals of a novel layered iridate Ba21Ir9O43 and present the crystallographic, transport, and magnetic properties of this material. The compound has a hexagonal structure with two iridium oxide layers stacked along the c ...

Rotor Design Optimization for a Reaction Sphere Actuator

Yves Perriard, Leopoldo Rossini

This paper presents the rotor design optimization for a reaction sphere (RS) actuator. The RS is a permanent-magnet synchronous spherical actuator whose rotor is magnetically levitated and can be accelerated about any desired axis. The RS is composed of an ...

The Pore Structure Of Compacted And Partly Saturated Mx-80 Bentonite At Different Dry Densities

Alessio Ferrari, Ali Seiphoori

Compacted MX-80 bentonite is a potential backfill material in radioactive-waste repositories. Pore space in MX-80 has been the subject of considerable debate. 3D reconstructions of the pore space based on tomographic methods could provide new insights into ...

Hybrid FEM-analytical force and torque models of a reaction sphere actuator

Yves Perriard, Leopoldo Rossini

This paper presents a hybrid FEM-analytical model for the magnetic flux density, the force and torque of a Reaction Sphere (RS) actuator for satellite attitude control. The RS is a permanent magnet synchronous spherical actuator whose rotor is magnetically ...

Lambert cubes and the Lobell polyhedron revisited

The first example of a closed orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold was constructed by F. Lobell in 1931 from eight copies of the right-angled 14-hedron. We consider the family of hyperbolic polyhedra which generalize the Lambert cube and the Lobell polyhedron. ...

Model reduction techniques for fast blood flow simulation in parametrized geometries

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Andrea Manzoni

In this paper we propose a new model reduction technique aimed at real-time blood flow simulations on a given family of geometrical shapes of arterial vessels. Our approach is based on the combination of a low-dimensional shape parametrization of the compu ...

Finite Element Method on Riemann Surfaces and Applications to the Laplacian Spectrum

Marc Maintrot

The objective of this PhD thesis is the approximate computation of the solutions of the Spectral Problem associated with the Laplace operator on a compact Riemann surface without boundaries. A Riemann surface can be seen as a gluing of portions of the Hype ...

Diameter of Polyhedra: Limits of Abstraction

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Thomas Rothvoss, Nicolai Hähnle

We investigate the diameter of a natural abstraction of the 1-skeleton of polyhedra. Although this abstraction is simpler than other abstractions that were previously studied in the literature, the best upper bounds on the diameter of polyhedra continue to ...

Fermi Surface and Order Parameter Driven Vortex Lattice Structure Transitions in Twin-Free YBa2Cu3O7

Joël Mesot, Jonathan White

We report on small-angle neutron scattering studies of the intrinsic vortex lattice (VL) structure in detwinned YBa2Cu3O7 at 2 K, and in fields up to 10.8 T. Because of the suppressed pinning to twin-domain boundaries, a new distorted hexagonal VL structur ...
