Ridge-enhanced optical transmission through a continuous metal film
2004
Optical transmission through a continuous (without holes) metal film with a periodic structure of metal or dielectric ridges on one or both interfaces was numerically studied. The dependencies of the transmission on the ridge width and height as well as the ridge arrangements on the opposite interfaces were investigated in weak- and strong-coupling regimes. The transmission enhancement was shown to depend on the relative position of the ridge gratings on the opposite interfaces of a film, confirming the role of resonant tunneling processes involving states of the surface polariton Bloch modes.
On dewetting dynamics of solid films of hydrogen isotopes and its influence on tritium [Beta] spectroscopy
2000
The dewetting dynamics of solid films of hydrogen isotopes, quench-condensed on a graphite substrate, was measured at various temperatures below desorption by observing the stray light from the film. A schematic model describing the dewetting process by surface diffusion is presented, which agrees qualitatively with our data. The activation energies of different hydrogen isotopes for surface diffusion were determined. The time constant for dewetting of a quench-condensed T2 film at the working temperature of 1.86 K of the mainz neutrino mass experiment was extrapolated.
Influence of geographical extent on typology- and model-based assessments of taxonomic completeness of river macroinvertebrates
2009
Summary 1. River InVertebrate Prediction and Classification System (RIVPACS)-type predictive models are increasingly used to assess the biological condition of freshwaters, but management schemes may also be based on a priori groupings of similar water bodies (typologies) to control for natural variation in biota. The two approaches may lead to disagreements of the biological status of a site, depending on, for example, the spatial scale at which assessments are conducted. 2. We used data from 96 reference and 134 potentially impacted sites from Western and Central Finland to compare RIVPACS-type models and a simple size-based typology of rivers for the assessment of taxonomic completeness …

N-order rational solutions to the Johnson equation depending on 2N - 2 parameter
2017
International audience; We construct rational solutions of order N depending on 2N-2 parameters. They can be written as a quotient of 2 polynomials of degree 2N(N+1) in x, t and 2N(N+1) in y depending on 2N-2 parameters. We explicitly construct the expressions of the rational solutions of order 4 depending on 6 real parameters and we study the patterns of their modulus in the plane (x,y) and their evolution according to time and parameters a1,a2,a3,b1,b2,b3.
Multi-parametric families solutions to the Burgers equation
2021
We construct 2N real parameter solutions to the Burgers' equation in terms of determinant of order N and we call these solutions, N order solutions. We deduce general expressions of these solutions in terms of exponentials and study the patterns of these solutions in functions of the parameters for N = 1 until N = 4.

Ultraviolet optical properties of silica controlled by hydrogen trapping at Ge-related defects
2007
We studied the effects induced by the ultraviolet-laser and -lamp exposure sequences on the twofold coordinated germanium (=Ge{sup {center_dot}}{sup {center_dot}}) and the H(II) center (=Ge{sup {center_dot}}-H) in silica. The H(II) centers, generated after the first laser irradiation stage by the trapping of atomic hydrogen H{sup 0} at the (=Ge{sup {center_dot}}{sup {center_dot}}), are destroyed by the subsequent lamp exposure with efficiency depending on photon energy. The H(II) photodestruction is activated from {approx}4 eV, and its cross section is here quantitatively measured, so giving the absorption profile of this center. Consistent with the observed correlated recovering of (=Ge{su…
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.
