Nanometal plasmon polaritons

Abdellatif Akjouj, Gaëtan Lévêque, Sabine Szunerits, Yan Pennec, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani, Rabah Boukherroub, L. Dobrzynski

A nanometal is a nanometric metallic structure. A plasmon is a collective excitation of an electron gas. A plasmon polariton is a plasmon coupled to an electromagnetic wave. Whereas plasmons in bulk metal do not couple to light fields, a thin metal film can sustain surface polaritons when excited…

General solution to the Hertz-Mindlin problem via Preisach formalism

Vladislav Aleshin, Koen van den Abeele

In this paper we analyze the contact problem for two elastic spheres with friction (the Hertz–Mindlin or HM problem) and present an original solution expressed in terms of the Preisach description. The major obstacle for an efficient use of the HM mechanics in the case of general loading histories…

Airway reopening through catastrophic events in a hierarchical network

Michael Baudoin, Yu Song, Paul Manneville, Charles N. Baroud

When you reach with your straw for the final drops of a milkshake, the liquid forms a train of plugs that flow slowly initially because of the high viscosity. They then suddenly rupture and are replaced with a rapid airflow with the characteristic slurping sound. Trains of liquid plugs also are…

Planning the electron traffic in semiconductor networks: A mesoscopic analog of the Braess paradox encountered in road networks

Serge Huant, S. Baltazar, Peng Liu, Hermann Sellier, B. Hackens, F. Martins, Vincent Bayot, X. Wallart, L. Desplanque, M. G. Pala

By combining quantum simulations of electron transport and scanning-gate microscopy, we have shown that the current transmitted through a semiconductor two-path rectangular network in the ballistic and coherent regimes of transport can be paradoxically degraded by adding a third path to the network…

Assisted Channel Estimation with Dynamic Allocation Pilot Subcarriers for OFDM Communications

Boudali Ouarzazi, Atika Rivenq, Iyad Dayoub, Marion Berbineau

In this paper, a transmission system based on OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technique and channel estimation is proposed. The idea is to enhance the assisted channel estimation without data rate loss. A solution based on frequency diversity is proposed. With the same number of…

Scanning Gate Spectroscopy of transport across a Quantum Hall Nano-Island

F. Martins, S. Faniel, B. Rosenow, M. G. Pala, Hermann Sellier, Serge Huant, L. Desplanque, X. Wallart, Vincent Bayot, B. Hackens

We explore transport across an ultra-small Quantum Hall Island (QHI) formed by closed quan- tum Hall edge states and connected to propagating edge channels through tunnel barriers. Scanning gate microscopy and scanning gate spectroscopy are used to first localize and then study a single QHI near a…

Giant rotary power of a fishnet-like metamaterial

S.X. Wang, F. Garet, Eric Lheurette, M. Astic, J.L. Coutaz, D. Lippens

We show experimentally and numerically that cholesteric-type metal-dielectric structures, made of twisted sub-wavelength hole elliptical–shaped arrays, exhibit strong optical activity and circular dichroism. The experimental demonstration is carried out with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy…

Effect of manganese concentration in the Cd1-xMnxTe/CdTe tandem structure on photovoltaic energy conversion

Abdelkader Aissat, M. El Bey, M. Fathi, Jean-Pierre Vilcot

The photovoltaic electricity is obtained by direct conversion of sunlight into electricity by solar cells. The objective of this work is the study and simulation of a Tandem photovoltaic structure based on Cd1-xMnxTe as top material cell. This paper describes the optimization of energy efficiency…
