Microparticle Brownian Motion near an Air-Water Interface Governed by Direction-Dependent Boundary Conditions
Stefano Villa, Christophe Blanc, Abdallah Daddi-Moussa-Ider +2
Although the dynamics of colloids in the vicinity of a solid interface has been widely characterized in the past, experimental studies of Brownian diffusion close to an air-water i…

Reduction of phonon mean free path: from low temperature physics to room temperature applications in thermoelectricity
Olivier Bourgeois, Dimitri Tainoff, Adib Tavakoli +5
It has been proposed for a long time now that the reduction of the thermal conductivity by reducing the phonon mean free path is one of the best way to improve the current performa…

Behavior of colloidal particles at an air/nematic liquid crystal interface
M. A. Gharbi, M. Nobili, M. In +4
We examine the behavior of spherical silica particles trapped at an air-nematic liquid crystal interface. When a strong normal anchoring is imposed, the beads spontaneously form va…
