Explanation of Optical Force and Torque on Nanomotors as the Interplay of Huygens Sources

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Mintae Chung

Being able to understand how optical forces emerge from the interaction of light with matter is paramount for controlling the motion of nanoparticles as well as powering nanomotors. The purpose of this work is to uncover the physical mechanisms at the orig ...

Spatial Charge Separation as the Origin of Anomalous Stark Effect in Fluorous 2D Hybrid Perovskites

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Giulia Grancini, Valentin Ianis Emmanuel Queloz, Inés Garcia Benito, Marine Eva Fedora Bouduban, Alexander Fedorovskiy

2D hybrid perovskites (2DP) are versatile materials, whose electronic and optical properties can be tuned through the nature of the organic cations (even when those are seemingly electronically inert). Here, it is demonstrated that fluorination of the orga ...

Helium-induced electronic transitions in photo-excited Ba+–Hen exciplexes

Marcel Drabbels

The possibility for helium-induced electronic transitions in a photo-excited atom is investigated using Ba+ excited to the 6p 2P state as a prototypical example. A diabatization scheme has been designed to obtain the necessary potential energy surfaces and ...

Demographic stochasticity and resource autocorrelation control biological invasions in heterogeneous landscapes

Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Florian Altermatt

Mounting theoretical evidence suggests that demographic stochasticity, environmental heterogeneity and biased movement of organisms individually affect the dynamics of biological invasions and range expansions. Studies of species spread in heterogeneous la ...

Modelling landslides in unsaturated slopes subjected to rainfall infiltration using material point method

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Samila Sanjeevanie Bandara

This paper presents a dynamic fully coupled formulation for saturated and unsaturated soils that undergo large deformations based on material point method. Governing equations are applied to porous material while considering it as a continuum in which the ...

Equivalent Piezoelectric Actuator Circuits and Comparison

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Xinchang Liu

Equivalent piezoelectric actuator circuit is necessary for certain applications. Previous models have limits and are not accurate on modelling the real part of piezo impedance at low frequency range. A simple inverse proportional to frequency model is prop ...

Some considerations on wearable antennas

Anja Skrivervik, Jovanche Trajkovikj

There has been a huge increase in interest for wearable communication devices in the last ten years. Applications are manifold, ranging from rescue to fashion over medical devices and safety, leading to the definition of new standards for Body Area Network ...

On the Pseudorandom Function Assumption in (Secure) Distance-Bounding Protocols

Serge Vaudenay, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa, Ioana Cristina Carlson

In this paper, we show that many formal and informal security results on distance-bounding (DB) protocols are incorrect/incomplete. We identify that this inadequacy stems from the fact that the pseudorandom function (PRF) assumption alone, invoked in many ...

A general basis for quarter-power scaling in animals

Andrea Rinaldo, Amos Maritan

It has been known for decades that the metabolic rate of animals scales with body mass with an exponent that is almost always 2/3, and often very close to 3/4. The 3/4 exponent emerges naturally from two models of resource distribution networks, radia ...

Mechanical characterization of a dielectric elastomer microactuator with ion-implanted electrodes

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Muhamed Niklaus

We report on the mechanical characterization and modeling of a non-prestretched dielectric elastomer diaphragm microactuator with ion-implanted electrodes under the influence of a distributed load (pressure). Thin polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) membranes (30 u ...

Two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnet with a fourfold degenerate dimer ground state

Frédéric Mila

We study the competition between antiferromagnetic order and valence-bond-crystal formation in a two-dimensional frustrated spin-1/2 model. The J(1)-J(2) model on the square lattice is further frustrated by introducing products of three-spin projectors whi ...

Mécanismes rétroactifs de ségrégation, entre une société urbaine et son espace : Un modèle basé agents

André Ourednik

This paper describes an agent-based model of socio-spatial segregation, result of a synthesis between « Schelling’s spatial segregation model » and a demographc model of dependency between household fertility rates and socio-economical status of their desc ...

A Method for Routing Packets Across Multiple Paths in NoCs with In-Order Delivery and Fault-Tolerance Guarantees

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Luca Benini, Srinivasan Murali

Networks on Chips (NoCs) are required to tackle the increasing delay and poor scalability issues of bus-based communication architectures. Many of today’s NoC designs are based on single path routing. By utilizing multiple paths for routing, congestion in ...

A Granular Model of Equiaxed Mushy Zones: Formation of a Coherent Solid and Localization of Feeding

Michel Rappaz, Stéphane Vernède

The gradual transformation of a mushy zone during alloy solidification, from a continuous liquid film network to a fully coherent solid, has been simulated using a granular model. Based on a Voronoi tessellation of a random set of nucleation centers, solid ...
