Conceptual design of the International Axion Observatory (IAXO)
2014
The International Axion Observatory (IAXO) will be a forth generation axion helioscope. As its primary physics goal, IAXO will look for axions or axion-like particles (ALPs) originating in the Sun via the Primakoff conversion of the solar plasma photons. In terms of signal-to-noise ratio, IAXO will be about 4-5 orders of magnitude more sensitive than CAST, currently the most powerful axion helioscope, reaching sensitivity to axion-photon couplings down to a few $\times 10^{-12}$ GeV$^{-1}$ and thus probing a large fraction of the currently unexplored axion and ALP parameter space. IAXO will also be sensitive to solar axions produced by mechanisms mediated by the axion-electron coupling $g_{…
Influence of Ag, Cu dopants on the second and third harmonic response of ZnO films
2009
International audience; Silver- and copper-doped ZnO films were prepared by radio-frequency (RF)-magnetron sputtering on glass and quartz substrates. The influence of dopants content on the microstructural evolution and optical as well as nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were investigated. It has been found that the grain sizes were enlarged with increasing of Ag, Cu dopants amount in ZnO films. The Ag or Cu doping leads to the optical band gap narrowing. Besides, the second-order NLO response of Ag- and Cu-doped ZnO films is lower than that of undoped ZnO film. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the ZnO:Ag film was found to be higher than that of the ZnO:Cu film at the si…
ZnO Thin films doped with Erbium: Elaboration, Characterization and nonlinear optical properties measurements
2011
In this paper, we investigate NLO properties of ZnO nanostructures for optoelectronics applications. It is shown that carefully designed and fabricated nanostructured ZnO films posses some advantageous for practical use and to generate more and short wavelengths and, when combined with TiO , produce a core–shell structure that 2 reduces the combination rate. The limitations of ZnO-based DSCs are also discussed and several possible methods are suggested in order to expand the basic knowledge of ZnO to TiO , motivating further improvement 2 in the power-conversion efficiency of third harmonic generation THG.
Generalized inverses and similarity to partial isometries
2010
Abstract We obtain some results related to the problems of Badea and Mbekhta (2005) [1] concerning the similarity to partial isometries using the generalized inverses. Especially, we involve the Moore–Penrose inverses. Also a characterization for such a similarity is given in the terms of dilations similar to unitary operators, which leads to a new criterion for the similarity to an isometry and to a quasinormal partial isometry.

NLO properties of polythiophenes galvanostatically electrodeposited on ITO glasses
2008
International audience; A study of nonlinear optical properties of ClO4-doped polythiophenes, galvanostatically electrodeposited on ITO glasses, was carried out using second and third harmonic generation measurements. The effect of the oxidation state of the polymeric films was studied by comparing the nonlinear optical response of oxidised and reduced polythiophenes. Reduced polymeric films show higher values of the second and third order susceptibilities and a lower absorbance in respect to the oxidised ones. The morphology of the polythiophene films was studied by scanning electron and atomic force microscopes.
Characterization and Investigation of NLO Properties of some Selected Electrodeposited Polythiophenes
2009
In this work we study the electronic properties of ClO− doped polythiophenes and discuss the nonlinear optical properties of these organic 4 compounds galvanostatically electrodeposited on ITO glasses. The investigation on the electronic properties (band gap, flat band potential) was performed by means of a non-destructive optical technique, photocurrent spectroscopy (PCS). The investigation on the nonlinear optical response was carried out by means of second and third harmonic generation (SHG and THG) measurements. In particular, the effect of the oxidation state of the polymeric films was studied by comparing the NLO response of oxidized and reduced polythiophenes. Reduced poly- meric films …
Occlusal Splints and Exercise Performance: A Systematic Review of Current Evidence
2021
The role of the dento-mandibular apparatus and, in particular, occlusion and jaw position, received increased attention during last years. In the present study, we aimed to systematically review, on the light of the new potential insights, the published literature covering the occlusal splint (OS) applications, and its impact on exercise performance. A structured search was carried out including MEDLINE®/PubMed and Scopus databases with additional integration from external sources, between March and June 2021. To meet the inclusion criteria, studies published in the English language, involving humans in vivo, published from 2000 to 2021 and that investigated the role of occlusal splints on …
Lenses on very curved zones of a singular line field of ${\mathbb C}^2$ or of a singular plane field of ${\mathbb C}^3$
2020
We renormalize, using suitable lenses, small domains of a singular holomorphic line field of ${\mathbb C}^2$ or plane field of ${\mathbb C}^3$ where the curvature of a plane-field is concentrated. At a proper scale the field is almost invariant by translations. When the field is integrable, the leaves are locally almost translates of a surface that we will call {\it profile}. When the singular rays of the tangent cone (a generalization to a plane-field of the tangent cone of a singular surface is defined) are isolated, we obtain more precise results. We also generalize a result of Merle (\cite{Me}) concerning the contact order of generic polar curves with the singular level $f=0$ when $\ome…
