Wall slip of bubbles in foams
(American Institute of Physics, 2006)We present a computational analysis of the flow of liquid foam along a smooth wall, as encountered in the transport of foams in vessels and pipes. We concentrate on the slip of the bubbles at the wall and present some ... -
Wannier-function-based constrained DFT with nonorthogonality-correcting Pulay forces in application to the reorganization effects in graphene-adsorbed pentacene
(2018)Pulay terms arise in the Hellmann-Feynman forces in electronic-structure calculations when one employs a basis set made of localized orbitals that move with their host atoms. If the total energy of the system depends on a ... -
The wave properties of coronal bright fronts observed using SDO/AIA
(2011)Coronal bright fronts (CBFs) are large scale wavefronts that propagate though the solar corona at hundreds of kilometers per second. While their kinemat- ics have been studied in detail, many questions remain regarding the ... -
Waveguide Loss Measurement Using the Reflection Spectrum
(2008)A method for waveguide loss measurement purely based on the reflection spectrum is proposed. Using the Fourier series expansion of the single longitudinal mode in the reflection spectrum, the ratio between the second ... -
Wavelength, concentration, and distance dependence of nonradiative energy transfer to a plane of gold nanoparticles.
(2012)Nonradiative energy transfer to metal nanoparticles is a technique used for optical-based distance measurements which is often implemented in sensing. Both Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET) and nanometal surface ... -
Weyl points and exceptional rings with polaritons in bulk semiconductors
(2020)Weyl points are the simplest topologically protected degeneracy in a three-dimensional dispersion relation. The realization of Weyl semimetals in photonic crystals has allowed these singularities and their consequences to ... -
Whiskey-phase exfoliation: exfoliation and printing of nanosheets using Irish whiskey
(2019)Recent advances in the liquid-phase exfoliation (LPE) of layered materials have facilitated significant progress in the creation of functional inks. While ethanol/water blends have been shown to yield reasonable nanosheet ... -
White light conical diffraction

Wide range thermal and athermal operation of slotted surface grating lasers
(2021)Athermalisation is a procedure in which the wavelength of a semiconductor laser remains unchanged even as the temperature is altered. This is achieved by altering the currents that flow through the laser so as to maintain ... -
Winds of Planet Hosting Stars
(2015)The field of exoplanetary science is one of the most rapidly growing areas of astrophysical research. As more planets are discovered around other stars, new techniques have been developed that have allowed ... -
The X-ray spectroscopic diagnosis of laser-produced plasmas, with emphasis on line broadening
(American Physical Society, 1980)A detailed account is given of the x-ray spectroscopic diagnosis of plasmas formed by exploding pusher microballoons. The measurements of the electron temperature from the shell and from the core is described. A method for ... -
X-ray spectroscopic study of the electronic structure of the high-dielectric-constant material CaCu3Ti4O12
(2005)The element-specific valence- and conduction-band densities of states for the high-dielectric-material CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 have been measured using soft x-ray emission and absorption spectroscopies. Ti L a , b , ...
