The radiative response of any object is governed by a surface parameter known as emissivity. Tuning the emissivity of surfaces has been of great interest in many applications involving thermal radiation such as thermophotovoltaics, thermal…
In the quest of new materials that can withstand severe irradiation and mechanical extremes for advanced applications (e.g. fission reactors, fusion devices, space applications, etc), design, prediction and control of advanced materials…
In capacitively coupled radio frequency (CCRF) discharges, the interaction of the plasma and the surface boundaries is linked to a variety of highly relevant phenomena for technological processes. One possible plasma-surface interaction is…
The neutralization of slow positive ions on solid surfaces can lead to the emission of secondary electrons in Auger-type processes. We discuss the possibility of harnessing such mechanisms to the detection of positive ions in gaseous TPCs.…
The surface area of electrodeposited thin films of Ni, Co, and NiCo was evaluated using electrochemical double-layer capacitance, electrochemical area measurements using the [Ru(NH$_3$)$_6$]$^{3+}$/[Ru(NH$_3$)$_6$]$^{2+}$ redox couple, and…
Recent developments in thin-film fabrication and processing open up interesting possibilities for both established and emerging optics technologies. There, one of the key questions requiring more complete understanding is by how much one…
We investigate the excitonic species in WS$_{2}$ monolayers transferred onto III-V semiconductor substrates with different surface treatments. When the III-V substrates were covered with amorphous native oxides, negatively charged excitons…
The Solid-Electrolyte Interphase, SEI, formed on a battery electrode has been a central area of research for decades. This thin, complex layer profoundly impacts the electrochemical deposition morphology and stability of the metal in…
Condensation clouds in substellar atmospheres have been widely inferred from spectra and photometric variability. Up until now, their horizontally averaged vertical distribution and mean particle size have been largely characterized using…
New superconducting materials, particularly iron-based superconductors (IBS), have recently attracted attention for their potential applications in particle detectors and accelerators. This paper discusses the application of these materials…
Quantifying formidable multiple coupling effects involved in Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a prerequisite for accurate design of SERS probes with superior detection limit and uniformity which are the targets for trace…
Electron cloud effects have become one of the main performance limitations for circular particle accelerators operating with positively-charged beams. Among other machines worldwide, the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), as well as the…
The use of Sonic Crystals as environmental noise barriers has certain advantages from the acoustical and the constructive point of view with regard to conventional ones. One aspect do not studied yet is the acoustic interaction between the…
It has been shown previously for electrodeposited Co/Cu multilayers that the single-bath electrodeposition process can be optimized from an electrochemical point of view in order to avoid unwanted Co dissolution and incorporation of Co in…
Superconducting RF is a key technology for future particle accelerators, now relying on advanced surfaces beyond bulk Nb for a leap in performance and efficiency. The SRF thin film strategy aims at transforming the current SRF technology by…
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors possess strongly bound excitons, opening novel opportunities for engineering light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. However, their in-plane confinement leads to large non-radiative exciton-exciton…
By the use of both perturbative and non-perturbative solutions of the reduced Rayleigh equation, we present a detailed study of the scattering of light from two-dimensional weakly rough dielectric films. It is shown that for several rough…
We theoretically analyze the surface density of states of heavy fermion materials such as CeCoIn$_5$. Recent experimental progress made it possible to locally probe the formation of heavy quasi-particles in these systems via scanning…
Silicon (Si) is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, and it is the most important and widely used semiconductor, constituting the basis of modern electronic devices. Despite extensive study, some properties of Si remain elusive. For…
Surface modification of different materials exposed to an environment typical for hot cathode ionisation vacuum gauges was investigated. Such environment has been generated in a specially designed setup which simulates conditions in a…
