Stability of additive-free water-in-oil emulsions

Kavli Affiliate: Jos Zwanikken | First 5 Authors: Jos Zwanikken, Joost de Graaf, Markus Bier, René van Roij, | Summary: We calculate ion distributions near a planar oil-water interface within non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann theory, taking into account the Born self-energy of the ions in the two media. For unequal self-energies of cations and anions, a spontaneous […]

LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

Kavli Affiliate: Stuart Marshall | First 5 Authors: Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson, Bob Abel, Emily Acosta | Summary: (Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a single wide-deep-fast sky survey, […]

Using Animated Textures to Visualize Electromagnetic Fields and Energy Flow

Kavli Affiliate: John Belcher | First 5 Authors: John Belcher, Carolann Koleci, , , | Summary: Animated textures can be used to visualize the spatial structure and temporal evolution of vector fields at high spatial resolution. The animation requires two time-dependent vector fields. The first of these vector fields determines the spatial structure to be […]

Linear and Nonlinear Optical constants of BiFeO_3

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell Schlom | First 5 Authors: Amit Kumar, R. Rai, Nikolas Podraza, Sava Denev, Mariola Ramirez | Summary: Using spectroscopic ellipsometry, the refractive index and absorption versus wavelength of the ferroelectric antiferromagnet Bismuth Ferrite, BiFeO_3 is reported. The material has a direct band-gap at 442 nm wavelength (2.81 eV). Using optical second harmonic […]
