[ANGLÈS] This work is part of a larger project carried out by the Department of Electronic Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, which aims to create prototypes of liquid lenses capable of varying its ...

In this Bachelor thesis, a novel method to fabricate a self-supporting multi-layered nanomembrane is presented. Three designs with different polymeric materials were prepared and studied to select the most optimal multi-layered ...

In the aim to grow vertical self-catalyzed GaAs nanowires on [100] Si, fancy structures with a tapered shape resembling a tree were observed. They were called nanotrees. This is the first time that vertical growth has been ...

[ANGLÈS] An experimental set-up to measure plasmon-enhanced Circular Dichroism (CD) on Planar Chiral Metamaterials (PCM) has been designed, built and tested. PCMs, made of two-dimensional arrays of metallic nano-particles, ...

For many years scientist and engineers have used complex photonic set ups on large optical tables to perform quantum experiments. The problem is while the experiments are getting more and more complex the set ups are getting ...

Arrays of vertically aligned ZnO:Cl@ZnS core–shell nanowires (NWs) were grown by a facile low-cost, high-yield and seed-free two-step process. These NWs were used to demonstrate the potential of 3D electrodes based on ...

English: A silver-based transparent heat mirror for ophthalmic lenses was developed using optimal layers design techniques, to achieve high visible transparency and low solar infrared (IR) transmittance properties. After ...
