Experimental and Computational Exploration of the NaF-ThF4Fuel System: Structure and ThermochemistrySchreuder, Maarten B.J.W. (author), Ocadiz flores, J.A. (author), Gheribi, Aimen E. (author), Beneš, Ondrej (author), Griveau, Jean Christophe (author), Colineau, Eric (author), Konings, R. (author), Smith, A.L. (author)The structural, thermochemical, and thermophysical properties of the NaF-ThF4 fuel system were studied with experimental methods and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Equilibrium MD (EMD) simulations using the polarizable ion model were performed to calculate the density, molar volume, thermal expansion, mixing enthalpy, heat capacity, and...journal article 2021

van Oudenaren, G. I.L. (author), Ocadiz flores, J.A. (author), Smith, A.L. (author)Molten chloride salts are ionic liquids in which the anions and cations exhibit network formation. An attractive salt system for use in molten salt reactors is NaCl-UCl<sub>3</sub>, an ionic liquid with complex non-ideal thermodynamic behaviour due to the formation of short-range order. The relationship between local structure and...journal article 2021

Cnossen, J.P. (author), Cui, Tao Ju (author), Joo, C. (author), Smith, C.S. (author)Localization microscopy offers resolutions down to a single nanometer but currently requires additional dedicated hardware or fiducial markers to reduce resolution loss from the drift of the sample. Drift estimation without fiducial markers is typically implemented using redundant cross correlation (RCC). We show that RCC has sub-optimal...journal article 2021

Blommaert, M.A. (author), Subramanian, S.S. (author), Yang, K. (author), Smith, W.A. (author), Vermaas, D.A. (author)Typically, anion exchange membranes (AEMs) are used in CO2 electrolyzers, but those suffer from unwanted CO2 crossover, implying (indirect) energy consumption for generating an excess of CO2 feed and purification of the KOH anolyte. As an alternative, bipolar membranes (BPMs) have been suggested, which mitigate the reactant loss by...journal article 2021

Houwink, Quint (author), Kalisvaart, D. (author), Hung, S. (author), Cnossen, J.P. (author), Fan, D. (author), Mos, Paul (author), Ülkü, Arin Can (author), Bruschini, Claudio (author), Charbon-Iwasaki-Charbon, E. (author), Smith, C.S. (author)Single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays can be used for single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) because of their high frame rate and lack of readout noise. SPAD arrays have a binary frame output, which means photon arrivals should be described as a binomial process rather than a Poissonian process. Consequentially, the theoretical...journal article 2021

(author), Schmehl, R. (author)Airborne wind energy systems convert wind energy into electricity using tethered flying devices, typically flexible kites or aircraft. Replacing the tower and foundation of conventional wind turbines can substantially reduce the material use and, consequently, the cost of energy, while providing access to wind at higher altitudes. Because the...review 2021

(author)Bipolar membranes (BPMs) are gaining interest in energy conversion technologies. These membranes are composed of cation- and anion-exchange layers, with an interfacial layer in between. This gives the freedom to operate in different conditions (pH, concentration, composition) at both sides. Such membranes are used in two operational modes,...review 2021

(author)We investigated the sensitivity of fully focused SAR (FF-SAR) processing of Cryosat-2 altimeter data to Earth rotation. Earth’s rotation causes scatterers at varying cross-track locations to have a different relative velocity with respect to the satellite. This second-order effect of Earth rotation on the phase is currently not corrected for...journal article 2020
