"El objetivo general de la tesis fue profundizar el conocimiento de las interacciones presentes en las interfases entre superficies, microorganismos y nanomateriales en medios acuosos. En particular se estudiaron las int...

Static metasurfaces offer precise control over light but lack reconfigurability, limiting their use in dynamic applications. Introducing tunability via external stimuli, such as magnetic fields, enables active control of...

Recently there is an increasing interest in complex optical fields with spatially inhomogeneous state of polarizations and optical singularities. Novel effects and phenomena have been predicted and observed for...

Surface texturing consists of introducingwell-defined, intentional cavities on bearing surfaces, either on the housing or on the rotating shaft. Forsuch configurations, it iswell established in the literature that mass-c...

This work presents an experimental study of the response of a liquid bridge formed between a sphere and a plane solid surface subjected to a vertical sinusoidal vibration. The amplitude and frequency of the oscillations ...

Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling theory have been carried out to study the critical behavior and universality for the isotropic-nematic (IN) phase transition in a system of straight rigid pentamers adsorbe...

Nonlocal and quantum mechanical phenomena in noble metal nanostructures become increasingly crucial when the relevant length scales in hybrid nanostructures reach the few-nanometer regime. In practice, such mesoscopic ef...

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) have found their key applications in high-sensitivity biomolecular detection and integrated photonic devices for optical communication via light manipulation at nanostructures. Despite t...

Photons can be used to either monitor or induce catalysis by acting as photoexcited holes or quasi particles, which aid in water splitting reaction leading to a major step towards sustainable energy. However, the mechani...

Plasmonic sensors exhibit tremendous potential to accomplish real-time, label-free, and high-sensitivity biosensing. Gold nanohole array (GNA) is one of the classic plasmonic nanostructures that can be readily fabricated...

Coastal regions and surface waters are among the fundamental biological and social development resources worldwide. For this reason, it is essential to thoroughly monitor these regions to determine and characterize their...

The oxidation of diesel soot using K/CeO2 catalysts is studied in this paper. The reaction system involved in the catalytic oxidation of soot is quite complex; therefore, the study of reaction mechanisms is particularly ...

As the water pressure of shield tunnel increases, the key to tunnel construction is to strengthen the water resistance of joints. By analyzing the characteristics of stress and deformation of the gaskets in the joints of...

Ground aircraft icing has an adverse effect on the aerodynamic performance of aircrafts as well as the efficient operations of airlines and airports. The South African Weather Service (SAWS) Aviation Weather Centre (AWC)...

In the loess regions loess landslide is one of the major geological disasters. Every year it results in a large number of casualties and destructions. It is found that the average shear stress on the sliding surface of t...

Abstract Finding interesting phenomena is the core of scientific discovery, but the notion of interestingness is vaguely defined and heavily reliant on manual judgment. We present InterFeat, an integrative pipeline for a...

It has been suggested that a huge lake, Lago Amazonas, covered a large part of the Amazon basin until as recently as two thousand years ago. According to this hypothesis, the topmost sediments in western Amazonia are alm...

Nanoscale nonlinear optics is limited by the inherently weak nonlinear response of conventional materials and the small light–matter interaction volumes available in nanostructures. Plasmonic excitations can alleviate ...

Exceptional points (EPs) are the singularities of a non-Hermitian system where the eigenenergies and eigenstates simultaneously coalesce, a topological property that gives rise to a plethora of exotic phenomena. Probing ...

The realization of higher coupling strengths between coupled resonant modes enables exploration of compelling phenomena in diverse fields of physics and chemistry. In this study, we focus on the modal coupling between lo...

Combustion of aluminized solid propellants exhibits phenomena associated with accumulation, agglomeration, ignition, and combustion of ultra-fine aluminium particles. In this study, agglomeration phenomenon of ultra-fine...

Various heterogeneous catalytic reactions, when performed on a flux reactor (i.e. on open systems) under UHV conditions display complex spatiotemporal patterns. Specifically, TPR, Work Function (WF) measurements (both g...

Uno de los aspectos más importantes en la formulación de dispersiones de aplicación farmacéutica, es el conocimiento de aquellas propiedades fisicoquímicas, que involucran fenómenos de superficie e interfase en sis...
