Atomic-Level and Surface Structure of Calcium Silicate Hydrate Nanofoils

Karen Scrivener, Paul Bowen, Aslam Kunhi Mohamed, Ziga Casar

Deciphering the calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) surface is crucial for unraveling the mechanisms of cement hydration and property development. Experimental observations of C-S-H in cement systems suggest a surface termination which is fundamentally differ ...

Short homology bases for hyperelliptic hyperbolic surfaces

Jürgpeter Buser

Given a hyperelliptic hyperbolic surface S of genus g >= 2, we find bounds on the lengths of homologically independent loops on S. As a consequence, we show that for any lambda is an element of (0, 1) there exists a constant N(lambda) such that every such ...

Discrete Voss surfaces: Designing geodesic gridshells with planar cladding panels

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne, Olivier Baverel

The design and construction of doubly-curved structures often reveals to be challenging and can result in complex manufacturing and assembly. A recent strategy to tackle this difficulty consists in exploiting the connection between discrete differential ge ...

Robust numerical integration on curved polyhedra based on folded decompositions

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Xiaodong Wei

We present a novel method to perform numerical integration over curved polyhedra enclosed by high-order parametric surfaces. Such a polyhedron is first decomposed into a set of triangular and/or rectangular pyramids, whose certain faces correspond to the g ...

A parametric study on pool boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux on structured surfaces with artificial cavities

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Ahmad Reza Motezakker

Emerging applications in new generation electronic devices require effective heat removal and thermal man-agement. In this regard, boiling is a phase change phenomenon capable of dissipating a large amount of heat compared to the sensible heat. In this stu ...

Ultralow secondary electron emission and improved vacuum surface insulation of polyimide with scalable nanocomposite coating

Chao Wang, Guang-Yu Sun

Polymers with high surface electric insulation capability are greatly demanded in various electrical devices operating in vacuum ambient. Low secondary electron emission (SEE) is favorable to mitigate vacuum flashover by inhibiting the SEE avalanche across ...

Learning to Represent and Reconstruct 3D Deformable Objects

Jan Bednarík

Representing and reconstructing 3D deformable shapes are two tightly linked problems that have long been studied within the computer vision field. Deformable shapes are truly ubiquitous in the real world, whether be it specific object classes such as human ...

Perturbed Fourier uniqueness and interpolation results in higher dimensions

Martin Peter Stoller, Joao Pedro Gonçalves Ramos

We obtain new Fourier interpolation and uniqueness results in all dimensions, extending methods and results by the first author and M. Sousa [11] and the second author [12]. We show that the only Schwartz function which, together with its Fourier transform ...

Examples of normal, not geometrically normal, projective Gorenstein del Pezzo surfaces with at most Du Val singularities

Ursina Schweizer

While over fields of characteristic at least 5, a normal, projective and Gorenstein del Pezzo surface is geometrically normal, this does not hold for characteristic 2 and 3. There is no characterization of all such non-geometrically normal surfaces, but th ...

A new characterization approach to study the mechanical behavior of silicon nanowires

Yusuf Leblebici, Zuhal Tasdemir, Mohammad Nasr Esfahani, Mustafa Yilmaz

This work proposes a new approach to characterize the mechanical properties of nanowires based on a combination of nanomechanical measurements and models. Silicon nanowires with a critical dimension of 90 nm and a length of 8 mu m obtained through a monoli ...

A method to numerically determine the secondary electron yield considering effects of the surface morphology

Guang-Yu Sun, Ning Yang

Secondary electron emission (SEE) of solid materials due to electron bombardment is influenced by numerous properties of materials, where the surface condition plays a critical role in the value of secondary electron yield (SEY). Here, a 3D random microstr ...

Stabilization of high-spin Mn ions in tetra-pyrrolic configuration on copper

Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder

By means of Mn-Cu transmetalation, we incorporated Mn atoms in an array of TCNQ (7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) grown on Cu(100), forming a long range ordered and commensurate metal-organic coordination network (MOCN). Preliminary Sn alloying of the Cu( ...

Leveraging Spatial and Photometric Context for Calibrated Non-Lambertian Photometric Stereo

Pascal Fua, Engin Türetken, David Honzátko

The problem of estimating a surface shape from its observed reflectance properties still remains a challenging task in computer vision. The presence of global illumination effects such as inter-reflections or cast shadows makes the task particularly diffic ...

Nanoparticle-Induced Disorder at Complex Liquid-Liquid Interfaces: Effects of Curvature and Compositional Synergy on Functional Surfaces

Francesco Stellacci, Youwei Ma

The self-assembly of surfactant monolayers at interfaces plays a sweeping role in tasks ranging from household cleaning to the regulation of the respiratory system. The synergy between different nanoscale species at an interface can yield assemblies with e ...

Infrared Activities of Adsorbed Species on Metal Surfaces: The Puzzle of Adsorbed Methyl (CH3)

Rainer Beck, Harmina Vejayan

Reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) is widely used to identify molecular adsorbates on metals during surface chemical reactions, but the interpretation of RAIRS data can be difficult with experiment alone. Here, we reveal from first-princip ...

Tolerancing the surface form of aspheric microlenses manufactured by wafer-level optics techniques

Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Jeremy Béguelin

Tolerancing is an important step toward the fabrication of high-quality and cost-effective lens surfaces. It is critical for wafer-level optics, when up to tens of thousands microlenses are fabricated in parallel and whose surfaces cannot be formed individ ...

Fabrication of moire on curved surfaces

Roger Hersch, Vahid Babaei

Moire is an appealing visual effect observable when two or more repetitive patterns are superposed. Fabrication of moire effects has already proven to be useful in a range of applications, from art to engineering. Here, we introduce a method for designing ...

Simple groups of birational transformations in dimension two

Christian Lucius Urech

We classify simple groups that act by birational transformations on compact complex Kahler surfaces. Moreover, we show that every finitely generated simple group that acts non-trivially by birational transformations on a projective surface over an arbitrar ...

The emergence of small-scale self-affine surface roughness from deformation

Till Junge

Most natural and man-made surfaces appear to be rough on many length scales. There is presently no unifying theory of the origin of roughness or the self-affine nature of surface topography. One likely contributor to the formation of roughness is deformati ...

Energy distribution of harmonic 1-forms and Jacobians of Riemann surfaces with a short closed geodesic

Jürgpeter Buser, Robert Silhol

We study the energy distribution of harmonic 1-forms on a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface S where a short closed geodesic is pinched. If the geodesic separates the surface into two parts, then the Jacobian variety of S develops into a variety that split ...
