Dielectric-loaded surface plasmon-polariton waveguides at telecommunication wavelengths: Excitation and characterization
2008
International audience; The excitation and propagation of strongly confined surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) waveguide modes, supported by 500-nm-wide and 550-nm-high dielectric ridges fabricated on smooth gold films, are investigated at telecommunication wavelengths using a scanning near-field optical microscope. Different tapering structures for coupling of SPPs, excited at bare gold surfaces, into dielectric-loaded SPP waveguide (DLSPPW) modes are considered. The DLSPPW mode confinement and propagation loss are characterized. The DLSPPW mode propagation along an S bend having the smallest curvature radius of 2.48 mu m is shown, demonstrating the potential of DLSPPW technology for the real…

Upper limit on the diffuse flux of ultrahigh energy tau neutrinos from the Pierre Auger Observatory
2008
The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to Earth-skimming tau neutrinos that interact in Earth’s crust. Tau leptons from ντ charged-current interactions can emerge and decay in the atmosphere to produce a nearly horizontal shower with a significant electromagnetic component. The data collected between 1 January 2004 and 31 August 2007 are used to place an upper limit on the diffuse flux of ντ at EeV energies. Assuming an E−2ν differential energy spectrum the limit set at 90% C.L. is E2νdNντdEν<1.3×10−7 GeV cm−2 s−1 sr−1 in the energy range 2×1017 eV<E<2×1019 eV.

Dielectric properties of graphite-based epoxy composites
2014
International audience; Composite materials based on epoxy resin filled with various kinds of graphite particles: exfoliated graphite, natural graphite, and coarse, medium and fine artificial graphites have been prepared. Results of broadband dielectric investigations of such materials in wide temperature (25-450 K) and frequency (20 Hz-3 THz) ranges are presented. The dielectric permittivity strongly increases with graphite particle size. The graphite particle size and shape also have a strong impact on freezing temperature, conductivity activation energy and composite electromagnetic absorption properties at room temperature. The lowest percolation threshold is observed for exfoliated gra…

Transport parameters for aroma compounds through i-carrageenan and sodium alginate-based edible films
2011
In an effort to produce more environmentally friendly materials, renewable and biodegradable biopolymers have been investigated as coating materials. Edible films obtained from i-carrageenan and sodium alginates have good mechanical characteristics, are emulsion stabilizers, and decrease oxygen transfer. The addition of lipids to form emulsified films decreases the water vapour transfer and could be used to encapsulate active substances or aroma compounds. The aim of this work was to measure permeability, sorption and diffusion coefficient of the n-hexanal and D-limonene aroma compounds through emulsified (wf) and non-emulsified (wof) i-carrageenan and sodium alginate-based films to finally…
