An important issue in today's information society is the security of data transmission against potential intruders, which always put at risk the confidentiality. Current methods to increase security ...
The mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral region, with wavelengths between 3 and 15 µm, is known for a wide range of applications ranging from spectroscopic sensing to thermal imaging. However, despite the ...
Transparent electrodes (TEs) are the essential elements of many optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, touch screens, organic LEDs, and LCDs. Consequently demand for TEs is growing very steeply and ...
In this thesis we have investigated and proposed acoustic superLattices (ASLs) made of periodically poled ZX-cut lithium niobate (PPLN) associated ith coplanar electrodes as an effective alternative for ...
As health systems fight against epidemics and infectious diseases, new forms of diagnostics need to be developed in order to meet the growing demand for services, often in locations without the necessary ...
Liquid and solid repellent surfaces are key to many industries. For example, construction industry benefits from self-cleaning windows, cements, paints, roof tiles, and corrosion resistant surfaces, ...
Photonics is a key enabling technology for many applications ranging from communications to energy and medicine. Its success is largely relying on our capability to appropriately control light in optical ...
Randomness is one of the most intriguing, inspiring and debated topics in the history of the world. It appears every time we wonder about our existence, about the way we are, e.g. Do we have free will? ...
The combination of unique properties -high electrical mobility, thermal conductivity, transparency and mechanical flexibility- make graphene promising for a wide variety of applications, including ...
The nonlocal correlations of entangled systems are a feature inherent to quantum theory that is fundamentally at odds with our common-sense notions of realism and locality. Additionally, entanglement ...
