(author)Fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) are obtained through a permanent and periodic refractive index modulation in the core of the single-mode optical fibre. For many years, they have been employed in telecommunication industry as a passive device for wavelength division multiplexing and dispersion compensation components, or in laser apparatus for...conference paper 2020

Sarsito, Dina Anggreni (author), Simons, W.J.F. (author)North Sulawesi Trench or Minahasa subduction area is a subduction zone between the oceanic crust of Sulawesi Sea and the North Sulawesi Arm located at the triple junction in Eastern Indonesia. This subduction activity causes the North Arm of Sulawesi as an earthquake-prone area. Tectonic activities in the region can be studied through...conference paper 2018

Lamers, M.W.P.E. (author), Bronsveld, Paula (author), Liu, Ji (author), Weeber, A.W. (author)High quality passivating contacts can be realized by using the combination of a thin interfacial oxide (SiO<sub>x</sub>) and doped polysilicon (polySi). Recombination losses are minimized by providing very good passivation between the thin hydrogenated oxide and the cSi, a high field effect by the highly doped polySi [1-2], combined with the...conference paper 2018

Lignarolo, L. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Simao Ferreira, C.J. (author), Van Bussel, G.J.W. (author)The actuator disc (AD) model is commonly used to simplify the simulation of horizontal-axis wind-turbine aerodynamics. The limitations of this approach in reproducing the wake losses in wind farm simulations have been proven by a previous research. The present study is aimed at providing an experimental analysis of the near-wake turbulent flow...journal article 2016

Jin, W. (author), Kleijn, C.R. (author), van Ommen, J.R. (author)For simulating rarefied gas flows around a moving body, an immersed boundary method is presented here in conjunction with the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method in order to allow the movement of a three dimensional immersed body on top of a fixed background grid. The simulated DSMC particles are reflected exactly at the landing...conference paper 2016

Pimpalgaonkar, H.G. (author), van Steijn, V. (author), Kreutzer, M.T. (author), Kleijn, C.R. (author)We present a finite volume implementation of a phase field method in OpenFOAM as a tool to simulate reactive multiphase flows on heterogeneous surfaces. Using this tool, we simulate the formation and growth of a droplet due to a chemical reaction on a hydrophilic catalytic patch surrounded by a hydrophobic wall. We compare the growth dynamics...conference paper 2016

Jafari-Salim, A. (author), Eftekharian, A. (author), Majedi, A.H. (author), Ansari, M.H. (author)We study the rate of quantum phase slips in an ultranarrow superconducting nanowire exposed to weak electromagnetic radiations. The superconductor is in the dirty limit close to the superconducting-insulating transition, where fluxoids move in strong dissipation. We use a semiclassical approach and show that external radiation stimulates a...journal article 2016

Lateral gas phase diffusion length of boron atoms over Si/B surfaces during CVD of pure boron layersMohammadi, V. (author), Nihtianov, S. (author)The lateral gas phase diffusion length of boron atoms, LB, along silicon and boron surfaces during chemical vapor deposition(CVD) using diborane (B2H6) is reported. The value of LB is critical for reliable and uniform boron layer coverage. The presented information was obtained experimentally and confirmed analytically in the...journal article 2016

van Erp, H.R.N. (author), Linger, R.O. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)We give here a comparison of the expected outcome theory, the expected utility theory, and the Bayesian decision theory, by way of a simple numerical toy problem in which we look at the investment willingness to avert a high impact low probability event. It will be found that for this toy problem the modeled investment willingness under the...conference paper 2016

(author)Currently, in medical ultrasound contrast agent (UCA) imaging the second harmonic scattering of the microbubbles is regularly used. This scattering is in competition with the signal that is caused by nonlinear wave propagation in tissue. It was reported that UCA imaging based on the third or higher harmonics, i.e. “superharmonic” imaging, shows...conference paper 2015

Yuan, M. (author), Cohen, M.A. (author), Steele, G.A. (author)We study the mechanical dissipation of the fundamental mode of millimeter-sized, high quality-factor (Q) metalized silicon nitride membranes at temperatures down to 14?mK using a three-dimensional optomechanical cavity. Below 200?mK, high-Q modes of the membranes show a diverging increase of Q with decreasing temperature, reaching Q=1.27×108Q=1...journal article 2015

(author)The authors report the direct-write growth of hammerhead atomic force microscope(AFM) probes by He+beam induced deposition of platinum-carbon. In order to grow a thin nanoneedle on top of a conventional AFM probe, the authors move a focused He+beam during exposure to a PtC precursor gas. In the final growth stage, a perpendicular movement of the...journal article 2015

Righolt, B.W. (author), Kenjeres, S. (author), Kalter, R. (author), Tummers, M.J. (author), Kleijn, C.R. (author)We demonstrate how the self-sustained oscillation of a confined jet in a thin cavity can be quantitatively described by a zero-dimensional model of the delay differential equation type with two a priori predicted model constants. This model describes the three phases in self-sustained oscillations: (i) pressure driven growth of the oscillation, ...journal article 2015

(author)Experimental data of the DNA cyclization (J-factor) at short length scales exceed the theoretical expectation based on the wormlike chain (WLC) model by several orders of magnitude. Here, we propose that asymmetric bending rigidity of the double helix in the groove direction can be responsible for extreme bendability of DNA at short length...journal article 2015

(author)We employ a barotropic two-phase/two-fluid model to study the primary break-up of cavitating liquid jets emanating from a rectangular nozzle, which resembles a high aspect-ratio slot flow. All components (i.e., gas, liquid, and vapor) are represented by a homogeneous mixture approach. The cavitating fluid model is based on a thermodynamic...journal article 2015
