Multi-scale approach for the prediction of atomic scale properties

Michele Ceriotti, Jigyasa Nigam, Andrea Grisafi

Electronic nearsightedness is one of the fundamental principles that governs the behavior of condensed matter and supports its description in terms of local entities such as chemical bonds. Locality also underlies the tremendous success of machine-learning ...

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 ...

New constraints on the mass of fermionic dark matter from dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Alexey Boyarsky, Diego Blas Temino, Kyrylo Bondarenko

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are excellent systems to probe the nature of fermionic dark matter due to their high observed dark matter phase-space density. In this work, we review, revise, and improve upon previous phase-space considerations to obtain lower b ...

Suspended micro/nano channel resonators: a review

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Annalisa De Pastina

Micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (M/NEMS) have demonstrated outstanding sensing capabilities down to the yoctogram (10(-24) g) scale in vacuum environment and cryogenic temperatures. In order to bring such extraordinary resolution levels into the ...

The Tragedy of the Megastructure

Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon

Relating the megastructure to the issue of the Commons is a useful exercise to understand the success and the disappearance of what Peter Reyner Banham called the “dinosaurs of the Modern Movement”. All these large-scale constructions suffered the same fat ...

Charge-Based Modeling of Radiation Damage in Symmetric Double-Gate MOSFETs

Christian Enz, Farzan Jazaeri, Chunmin Zhang, Alessandro Pezzotta

In this paper, a comprehensive charge-based predictive model of interface and oxide trapped charges in undoped symmetric long-channel double-gate MOSFETs is developed. The model involves essentially no fitting parameters, but first-principle calculations o ...

Reversible Segregation of Nickel from Perovskite-type Oxides - Applications in Energy Processes

Patrick Simon Steiger

In this thesis, Ni catalysts derived from perovskite-type metal oxides (PMO, general formula ABO3, A=lanthanide or earth alkaline element, B=transition metal) are investigated as a potential class of materials, which are able to overcome thechallenges of c ...

Quantum Correlations of Light from a Room-Temperature Mechanical Oscillator

Tobias Kippenberg, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Sergey Fedorov, Ryan Daniel Schilling, Vivishek Sudhir

When an optical field is reflected from a compliant mirror, its intensity and phase become quantum-correlated due to radiation pressure. These correlations form a valuable resource: the mirror may be viewed as an effective Kerr medium generating squeezed s ...

The Sommerfeld half-space problem revisited: from radio frequencies and Zenneck waves to visible light and Fano modes

Juan Ramon Mosig, Krzysztof Michalski

The classical Sommerfeld half-space problem is revisited, with generalizations to multilayer and plasmonic media and focus on the surface field computation. A new ab initio solution is presented for an arbitrarily oriented Hertzian dipole radiating in the ...

Rashba-type spin splitting and spin interference of the Cu(111) surface state at room temperature

Jan Hugo Dil

We report on the measurement of the Rashba-type spin splitting of the Shockley surface state on Cu(1 1 1) by spin- and angle-resolved photoemission at room temperature. Along the spatial direction expected for a Rashba-type effect the measured spin splitti ...
