Due to climate change impacts and the worsening growth conditions of Norway spruce (Picea abies) the species composition of European forests is being diversified, incorporating more hardwoods as well as drought-resistant softwood species, such as Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). As a ... En savoir plus
In this simulation, we aim to comprehend the origin and mechanism of the warpage phenomenon in patterned silicon wafers, which are key components in the field of microelectronics. This issue can become more pronounced in the presence of high global density of the patterns and can lead to ... En savoir plus
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic waves that travel along a metal–dielectric or metal–air interface, practically in the infrared or visible-frequency. The term "surface plasmon polariton" explains that the wave involves both charge motion in the metal ("surface ... En savoir plus
The acid-disassociation of surface groups generates the surface charge that drives fundamental nanoscale ion transport behaviors, such as ion current rectification in nanopores. Ion current rectification can be utilized for high sensitivity label-free sensors. The disassociation of ... En savoir plus
INTRODUCTION The coupling of the Schrödinger and Maxwell equations allows to predict the self-generated electromagnetic (EM) field for a quantum charged particle moving in a domain. Such problem is really challenging, and it must be investigated in order to simulate the behavior of a ... En savoir plus
In applications like nuclear reactors or particle accelerators, mechanical components near a source of radiation develop radiation damage. This typically means a change in tensile properties and fracture toughness, which depends on the radiation dose (commonly measured in ‘displacements ... En savoir plus
In the framework of the EURAMET project 16NRM05, a novel ionization gauge was developed. The goal was to develop a more stable ionization gauge that could be suitable for standardization. The AC/DC Module and the Particle Tracing Module in COMSOL® have been used to design and model the ... En savoir plus
In the construction sector, the concrete and the steel bars represent still the key components, although they are very vulnerable by the atmospheric agents, as in the case of their degradation caused by corrosion. The value of the concrete carbonation may enhance the corrosion around the ... En savoir plus
Currently, there is a great interest in the study of gels, especially their transport or release properties. Hydrogels have countless definitions, but generally speaking, they are hydrophilic systems with a three-dimensional structure that tend to swell and hold large amounts of water ... En savoir plus
Rock fragmentation is a main process in mining, quarrying, and civil engineering projects. Efficient and controlled rock fragmentation plays an important role in optimizing processes such as drilling, blasting, and comminution. However, these traditional methods often face challenges ...
