Abstract:
The properties of polymer–nanoparticle (NP) mixtures significantly depend on the dispersion of the NPs. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate that, in the presence of polymer–NP attraction, the dispersion of NPs in semidilute and concentrated polymers can be stabilized by increasing the polymer concentration. A lower polymer concentration facilitates the aggregation of NPs bridged by polymer chains, as well as a further increase of the polymer–NP attraction. Evaluating the binding of NPs through shared polymer segments in an adsorption blob, we derive a linear relationship betwe

Abstract:
Metallic films, in conjunction with biochemical-targeted probes, are expected to provide early diagnosis, targeted therapy and non-invasive monitoring for epidemiology applications [1-4]. The resonance wavelength peaks, both plasmonic and Wood-Rayleigh Anomalies (WRAs), in the scattering spectra are affected by the metallic architecture. As of today, much research has been devoted to extinction efficiency in the plasmonic region. However, Wood Rayleigh Anomalies (WRAs) typically occur at wavelengths associated with the periodic distance of the structures. A significant number of papers have al

Abstract:
The coloured noise formalism has long formed an important generalisation of the white noise limit assumed in many Langevin equations. The Langevin equation most typically applied to magnetic systems, namely the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation makes use of the white noise approximation. The correct extension of the LLG model to the coloured noise is the Landau-Lifshitz-Miyazaki-Seki pair of Langevin equations. This pair of Langevin equations correctly incorporates a correlated damping term into the equa- tion of motion, constituting a realisation of the Fluctuation-Dissipation theorem fo

Abstract:
Un radar MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) est un système radar qui utilise plusieurs antennes émettrices et réceptrices, dans lequel les formes d'ondes émises peuvent être indépendantes. Par rapport aux radars utilisant des antennes en réseaux phasés, les radars MIMO offrent davantage de degrés de liberté, ce qui permet d'améliorer les performances du système en termes de détection et localisation. La technique MIMO offre également la possibilité de synthétiser un diagramme de rayonnement désiré par une définition judicieuse des formes d'ondes émises. Dans la mesure où les paramètres des

Abstract:
Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (IONPs) are a multifunctional nano-material that allows for MRI imaging, intravenous-controlled drug movement, and hyperthermia. The objective of this study is to optimize and control IONP hyperthermia and cope with aggregation using Finite Element (FE) Modeling and statistical physics. The FE model is first used to demonstrate the advantages of changing IONP heat dissipation in time, which can increase energy density inside tumors while decreasing the energy delivered in healthy tissue. Here, this is defined as target-specificity. Second, this model is used to dem
