The Scanning Field Emission Microscopy (SFEM) is a novel technology similar to the better known Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). In STM, electrons are exchanged between the outermost atom of a sharp tip and the outermost atom of a target over sub-nanometer distances by means of the ... Read More

We present an efficient method to compute efficiently the general solution (Green's Function) of the Poisson Equation in 3D. The method proves its effectiveness when dealing with multi-scale problems in which lower dimensional objects, such as nanotubes or nanowires (1D), are embedded in ... Read More

A standalone interface for web-based virtual reality and the underlying visualization system are presented. The developed user-friendly web application is implemented based on nowadays web techniques. Details for data handling and rendering are given to visualize COMSOL Multiphysics® ... Read More

The use of proton therapy for cancer treatment shows a growing trend, since the radiation dose delivered to the target volume is maximized and the dose to the surrounding healthy tissues is minimized. To direct the proton beam from all directions to the tumor in the patient, the last ... Read More

Worldwide efforts to promote the use of renewable energies include combustion-based technologies that produce substantial amounts of pollutants. In order to control the environmental impact a proper treatment of exhaust gases is required. This study describes the development of a ... Read More

In an Adaptive Optics system, the magnetic coupling of the Deformable Mirror with the Reference Frame may generate undesired forces and torques when any mechanical misalignment occurs. Moreover, the concave or convex shape of the thin, adaptive mirror shell undergoes similar permanent ... Read More

Although the Near Field Communication (NFC) concept has been developed for the short distance communication between the NFC-reader antenna and transponder/Tag, yet the requirements of different Automotive OEMs vary drastically. For instance, for the keyless entry into the car based on ... Read More

Seismic evaluation of existing dams is a major issue that has been even more highlighted by the recent events in Italy. In this regard, researchers and engineers need a reliable and quick tool to assess the complex behaviour of the structure – fluid – soil system. In this paper the soil ... Read More

Arcam AB has pioneered additive manufacturing using the electron beam melting (EBM) technology which provides a cost efficient and novel way of producing titanium components for the orthopedic and aerospace industries. In the heart of the EBM technology is the electron beam – whose ... Read More
