Electrons ejected from atoms and subsequently driven to high energies in strong laser fields
enable techniques from attosecond pulse generation to imaging with rescattered electrons …

In the LISA Pathfinder (LPF) mission, electrostatic noise can reach the femto-Newtonian
level despite the fact that the LPF's sensors are equipped with potential shielding. Most of …

The interaction of monocycle terahertz (THz) fields with metal nanostructures such as
nanotips is attracting a lot of interest for the development of new applications such as THz …

Spiky coatings (also known as nanoforests or Fakir-like surfaces) have found many
applications in chemical physics, material sciences, and biotechnology, such as …

We investigate the survival probability of a particle diffusing between two parallel reflecting
planes toward a periodic array of absorbing pillars. We approximate the periodic cell of this …

The boundary integral equation (BIE) method ascertains explicit relations between localized
surface phonon and plasmon polariton resonances and the eigenvalues of its associated …

Plasmonic properties of rod-shaped nanoantenna dimers in a touching configuration are
studied with an electrostatic method. First, a scaling law of rod nanoantennas is given in the …

It is presented a theory that permits to calculate the ac dielectrophoretic force acting on
biological cells and other micro-and nanoparticles of arbitrary shape. The theory includes …

Modeling thermal conductivity of graphene-based nanocomposites is analyzed from an
effective medium approximation point of view, where interfacial thermal resistance and …

We report a general setting in which the thermal conductivity of nanocomposites can be
calculated. Interfacial thermal resistance is also considered and no shape assumptions are …
