We propose a method for measuring the temperature of fermionic atoms in an optical lattice potential from the intensity of the scattered light in the far-field diffraction pattern. We consider a single-component gas in a tightly-confined…
Specialized applications of nanoparticles often call for particular, well-characterized particle size distributions in solution. But, this property can prove difficult to measure. High-throughput methods, such as dynamic light scattering,…
In recent years, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy has been increasingly applied for the study of polymer dynamics on the nanometer scale. The core idea is to extract, from a measured autocorrelation curve, an effective mean-square…
Despite mass flow is arguably the most elementary transport associated to nanofluidics, its measurement still constitutes a significant bottleneck for the development of this promising field. Here, we investigate how a liquid flow perturbs…
Dynamics light scattering (DLS) is a widely used techniques to characterize dynamics in soft phases. Evanescent Wave DLS refers to the case of total internal reflection DLS that probes near interface dynamics. We here investigate the use of…
Discrete particle simulation, a combined approach of computational fluid dynamics and discrete methods such as DEM (Discrete Element Method), DSMC (Direct Simulation Monte Carlo), SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics), PIC…
We demonstrate that the emission of light by fluorescent molecules in the proximity of periodic arrays of nanoantennas or plasmonic crystals can be strongly modified when the arrays are covered by a dielectric film. The coupling between…
Gravitational lensing is one of the most powerful probes of dark matter, yet creating high-fidelity lensed images at scale remains a bottleneck. Existing tools rely on ray-tracing or forward-modeling pipelines that, while precise, are…
The dissolution of liquid nanodroplets is a crucial step in many applied processes, such as separation and dispersion in food industry, crystal formation of pharmaceutical products, concentrating and analysis in medical diagnosis, and drug…
We report on the electrostatic complexation between oppositely charged polymers and inorganic nanoparticles investigated by static and dynamical light scattering. The nanoparticles put under scrutiny were citrate-coated nanocrystals of…
Noble liquid detectors have become an attractive option for exploring physics beyond the standard model. Current experiments are using these detectors to search for dark matter interactions, neutrinoless double beta decay, and other…
Microfludic channels are now a well established platform for many purposes, including bio-medical research and Lab on a Chip applications. However, the nature of flow within these channels is still unclear. There is evidence that the mean…
Polymer solutions subject to pressure driven flow and in nanoscale slit pores are systematically investigated using the dissipative particle dynamics approach. We investigated the effect of molecular weight, polymer concentration and flow…
Nano- and microparticles are popular media to enhance optical signals, including fluorescence from a dye proximal to the particle. Here we show that homogeneous, lossless, all-dielectric spheres with diameters in the mesoscale range,…
Preconcentration of the target compound is a critical step that ensures the accuracy of the subsequent chemical analysis. In this work, we present a straightforward yet effective liquid-liquid extraction approach based on surface…
Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) has been established as a powerful analytical technique for investigating the oxidation state, band structure, and dielectric properties of materials with exceptional spatial resolution. Inspired by…
Elastic light scattering has been extensively used to study samples showing a non uniform refraction index on lengthscales from a fraction of a micrometer to a fraction of a millimeter. Typically, a wide laser beam is sent through the…
We study the diffusion of water in weakly-hydrated samples of the smectite clay Na-fluorohectorite. The quasi one-dimensional samples are dry compounds of nano-layered particles consisting of ~ 80 silicate platelets. Water diffuses into a…
Plasmonic nanopores combine nanofluidic confinement with electromagnetic field enhancement, enabling optical interrogation of single molecules in sub-wavelength volumes. Yet, direct optical readout within these metallic geometries has…
While spatial dose conformity delivered to a target volume has been pushed to its practical limits with advanced treatment planning and delivery, investigations in novel temporal dose delivery are unfolding new mechanisms. Recent advances…
