DICHROISM IN ANGLE-RESOLVED PHOTOEMISSION FROM Pt(111)
2002
The angular dependence of the circular dichroism in photoemission from Pt(111) was investigated for excitation with VUV and soft X-ray radiation. VUV excitation was used to probe band structure and the circular dichroism for valence band emission. The measurements are compared to full relativistic single step photoemission calculations. XPS was used to investigate the circular dichroism in emission from the 4f core level. In this case, the dichroism is induced by photoelectron diffraction. First results from single step core level calculations are compared to the experimental observations.
Evaluation of strain in GaN/AlN quantum dots by means of resonant Raman scattering: the effect of capping
2007
We have studied in detail changes in the strain state of GaN/AlN quantum dots during the capping process. μ-Raman scattering experiments allowed the detection of a resonant mode which provided information on the evolution of strain with capping. Simultaneously, Multiwavelength Anomalous Diffraction (MAD) and Diffraction Anomalous Fine Structure (DAFS) experiments were performed on the same samples, providing the independent determination of the wurtzite lattice parameters a and c. The remarkable agreement between Raman and X-ray data stands out the suitability of polar vibrational modes for the determination of strain in nanostructures. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

AB$$_{2}$$O$$_{4}$$ Compounds at High Pressures
2014
In this chapter, we present an overview of the effects of pressure on the crystalline structure and physical properties of oxygen-based spinels and other related oxides. Recent X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy studies are summarized. A brief description of pressure-driven transitions and post-spinel structures is also provided. We also compare the response to high-pressure of several spinel oxides. We conclude with an examination of elastic and magnetic properties.
Performance of the Fully Digital FPGA-Based Front-End Electronics for the GALILEO Array
2014
In this work we present the architecture and results of a fully digital Front End Electronics (FEE) read out system developed for the GALILEO array. The FEE system, developed in collaboration with the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array (AGATA) collaboration, is composed of three main blocks: preamplifiers, digitizers and preprocessing electronics. The slow control system contains a custom Linux driver, a dynamic library and a server implementing network services. The digital processing of the data from the GALILEO germanium detectors has demonstrated the capability to achieve an energy resolution of 1.53 per mil at an energy of 1.33 MeV.
Vibrations of weakly coupled nanoparticles
2009
The vibrations of a coupled pair of isotropic silver spheres are investigated and compared with the vibrations of the single isolated spheres. Situations of both strong coupling and also weak coupling are investigated using continuum elasticity and perturbation theory. The numerical calculation of the eigenmodes of such dimers is augmented with a symmetry analysis. This checks the convergence and applicability of the numerical method and shows how the eigenmodes of the dimer are constructed from those of the isolated spheres. The frequencies of the lowest frequency vibrations of such dimers are shown to be very sensitive to the strength of the coupling between the spheres. Some of these mod…
TRANSIENT AND FREE-VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF LAMINATED SHELLS THROUGH THE DISCONTINUOUS GALERKIN METHOD
2022
This paper presents a novel formulation for linear transient and free-vibration analysis of laminated shell structures based on Interior Penalty discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods and variable-order through-the-thickness kinematics, whose combined use allows solving the shell problem with high-order accuracy throughout both the shell thickness and the shell modelling domain. The shell geometry is described via a generic system of curvilinear coordinates using either an analytical or a NURBS-based parametrization of the shell mid surface; the formulation also allows for the presence of cut-outs, which are implicitly represented by means of a level set function. After deriving the governing …
C3v Top Data System (C3vTDS) software for spectrum simulation of XY3Z symmetric-top molecules using the group chain
2010
Abstract The C3v Top Data System (C3vTDS) program suite has been developed with the aim of studying any rovibrational band or polyad of XY3Z (C3v) symmetric-tops molecules in a singlet electronic state. It is developed in the same way as similar programs for various molecular symmetries (Td, Oh, C4v, C2v and D2h). We work in the O ( 3 ) ⊃ C ∞ v ⊃ C 3 v group chain and this choice has consequences on the method used to specify the input parameters for Hamiltonian and transition moment calculations. One example concerning the ν 2 band of the CH 3 12 D symmetric-top molecule is presented. This package consists in a series of FORTRAN programs called by scripts. The whole package is freely acces…
A regular variational boundary model for free vibrations of magneto-electro-elastic structures
2011
In this paper a regular variational boundary element formulation for dynamic analysis of two-dimensional magneto-electro-elastic domains is presented. The method is based on a hybrid variational principle expressed in terms of generalized magneto-electro-elastic variables. The domain variables are approximated by using a superposition of weighted regular fundamental solutions of the static magneto-electro-elastic problem, whereas the boundary variables are expressed in terms of nodal values. The variational principle coupled with the proposed discretization scheme leads to the calculation of frequency-independent and symmetric generalized stiffness and mass matrices. The generalized stiffne…
Damping effect on the ITER vacuum vessel displacements during slow downward locked and rotating asymmetric vertical displacement events
2018
Abstract In this paper, we present the electromechanical coupled analysis of the ITER vacuum vessel in case of slow downward locked and rotating Asymmetric VDEs. The numerical model for simulating the AVDE includes the asymmetric distribution of the halo currents obtained by a suitable 3D kink perturbation of a slow VDE downward computed by the 2D code DINA. In the case of a rotational AVDE, the rotation frequency of the kink asymmetry has been chosen to be ω = 2π × 5 rad/s. The model includes the mesh of the main passive components facing the plasma. The whole torus (360 degrees) has been discretized. It is shown that the very high complexity of the numerical model can be suitably treated.…
Diagnosis of Incipient Bearing Faults using Convolutional Neural Networks
2019
The majority of faults occurring in rotating electrical machinery is attributed to bearings. To reduce downtime, it is desired to apply various diagnostic methods so that bearing degradation can be detected in good time prior to a complete failure. The work presented in this paper utilizes a data-driven machine learning approach based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in order to diagnose different types of bearing faults. A one-dimensional CNN is trained on vibration signals and compared to a two-dimensional CNN trained in time-frequency domain using continuous wavelet transform (CWT). The proposed method is demonstrated on data collected from run-to-failure tests.The results show th…
