Optical force density and surface displacements in transparent dielectrics due to non-ionizing sub-picosecond laser excitation
B. Anghinoni, L. C. Malacarne, G. V. B. Lukasievicz +3
The optical force density acting in transparent dielectric media due to short laser excitation is theoretically analyzed. For typical laser pulses with picosecond duration, the mom…
Float, borosilicate and tellurites as cover glasses in Si photovoltaics: optical properties and performances under sunlight
Marcos Paulo Belançon, Marcelo Sandrini, Henrique Silva Muniz +10
One of the most significant materials in a solar panel is the glass, which provides transparency, UV protection as well as mechanical and chemical resistance. In this work, we desc…
Glass engineering to enhance Si solar cells: a case study of Pr-Yb codoped tellurite-tungstate as spectral converter
Maiara Mitiko Taniguchi, Vitor Santaella Zanuto, Pablo Portes +4
Spectral converters are known to increase photovoltaic energy conversion by minimizing losses due to fundamental non-absorption and thermalization processes, and have been suggeste…
On the dynamics of bubbles in boiling water
H. V. Ribeiro, R. S. Mendes, E. K. Lenzi +2
We investigate the dynamics of many interacting bubbles in boiling water by using a laser scattering experiment. Specifically, we analyze the temporal variations of a laser intensi…
Earthquake-like patterns of acoustic emission in crumpled plastic sheets
R. S. Mendes, L. C. Malacarne, R. P. B. Santos +2
We report remarkable similarities in the output signal of two distinct out-of- equilibrium physical systems - earthquakes and the intermittent acoustic noise emitted by crum- pled…
Dynamics of tournaments: the soccer case
H. V. Ribeiro, R. S. Mendes, L. C. Malacarne +2
A random walk-like model is considered to discuss statistical aspects of tournaments. The model is applied to soccer leagues with emphasis on the scores. This competitive system wa…
