The ability to measure small deformations or strains is useful for understanding many aspects of materials especially in soft condensed matter systems. Systematic shifts of speckles arising from small angle x-ray coherent diffraction when analyzed enable flow patterns of particle in the elastomers to be inferred. This information is obtained from cross-correlations of speckle patterns. This...

Epitaxy of group IV semiconductors is a key enabler for electronics, telecommunications, and quantum devices. In the case of Sn, the growth challenges posed by lattice mismatch and the low solid solubility of Sn (<0.1%) in Si and Ge are significant. This research addresses these challenges by investigating ion implantation as a non-equilibrium growth technique combined with post-implantation...

We may expect lithium to be the simplest metal as it has only a single $2s$ valence electron. Surprisingly, lithium's crystal structure at low temperature and ambient pressure has long been a matter of debate. In 1984, A. W. Overhauser proposed a rhombohedral $9R$ structure. Subsequent neutron experiments by Schwarz et al. in 1990 favour a disordered polytope. More recently, in 2017,...

There is a critical knowledge gap in understanding the kinetics and mechanisms of mineral formation and degradation in the context of potential technologies that are targeted for carbon capture, utilization, and storage [1]. Both crystallization and dissolution of carbonate minerals figure prominently in many such climate-change-mitigation strategies that aim for carbon dioxide removal. For...

This research aims to enhance the performance of thermoelectric systems through a multifaceted approach combining computational modeling and machine learning techniques. The study focuses on analyzing quantum statistics within thermoelectric systems to uncover novel insights into alloy doping. We verified key derivations concerning the extrema of thermal, lattice thermal, and electrical...

4397. (G*) Investigation of the Adsorption of Particles at Liquid-gas Interface: Numerical ModellingSheyda Sadat Alavi28/05/2024, 15:30Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)
The dynamics of particles residing at a liquid-gas interface have shown to be of high importance both in fundamental studies and technological applications in recent years. Interfacial particles are amply found in artificial material manufacturing and biological systems. A better understanding of the unique physical properties of particles at the interface requires extensive attention to the...
