Experimental Observation of a Large Low-Frequency Band Gap in a Polymer Waveguide
2018
The quest for large and low-frequency band gaps is one of the principal objectives pursued in a number of engineering applications, ranging from noise absorption to vibration control, and to seismic wave abatement. For this purpose, a plethora of complex architectures (including multiphase materials) and multiphysics approaches have been proposed in the past, often involving difficulties in their practical realization. To address the issue of proposing a material design that enables large band gaps using a simple configuration, in this study we propose an easy-to-manufacture design able to open large, low-frequency complete Lamb band gaps exploiting a suitable arrangement of masses and stif…
Dynamical analysis of electron transport in RF cavities and photomultipliers tubes
2021
El objetivo de este trabajo es el estudio de la dinámica de haces y corrientes de electrones en cavidades aceleradoras de radiofrecuencia (RF) y en tubos fotomultiplicadores. Por una parte, los haces de electrones presentan una gran importancia histórica tanto en aplicaciones directas (televisiones, hornos de microondas, tratamiento del cáncer), como en la generación de radiación sincrotrón. La última generación de fuentes de rayos X muy brillantes se basa en los láseres de electrones libres (XFEL). No obstante, para producir los haces de electrones que emitirán dichos rayos X como radiación sincrotrón, se necesitan campos eléctricos de gran intensidad lo que produce que, debido a la emisió…

Statistical analysis of the relation between metallic microstructures and mechanical properties
2020
This thesis aims at the development of physical relations between the intricate 3D features of metallic microstructures and the mechanical properties of the material. For understanding which are the microstructural determinants of the resultingmechanical behaviour of metals, a deep quantitative characterisation of the microstructure is needed. The main steps of quantitative characterisation of the microstructures are: identification of the phases distribution and their chemical composition, study of the microstructure morphology (geometrical arrangement of grains, grain boundaries, grain orientations, grain size and grain shape). An accurate description of the microstructure features enrich…

Calcium mediated polyelectrolyte adsorption on like-charged surfaces.
2011
International audience; Monte Carlo simulations within the primitive model of calcium-mediated adsorption of linear and comb polyelectrolytes onto like-charged surfaces are described, focusing on the effect of calcium and polyion concentrations as well as on the ion pairing between polymers and calcium ions. We use a combination of Monte Carlo simulations and experimental data from titration and calcium binding to quantify the ion pairing. The polymer adsorption is shown to occur as a result of surface overcharging by Ca2+ and ion pairing between charged monomers and Ca2+. In agreement with experimental observations, the simulations predict that the polymer adsorption isotherm goes through …
