Toughening random lattice metamaterials with structure heterogeneities
SPHYNX : Solid state physics, surfaces and interfacesParis-Saclay Physique en Île-de-France (EDPIF) SaclayTo reduce the environmental and/or the energetic impact of vehicles, a favored method is to decrease the mass of prime materials used to build them, that being done without hindering their… -
Coupled Friction Effects of Dirac sea and Electromagnetic Vacuum on Atomic movements
SPHYNX : Theoretical PhysicsParis-Saclay Physique en Île-de-France (EDPIF) SaclayQuantum fluctuations induce conservative macroscopic forces such as the Casimir effect. They could also cause dissipative forces, termed vacuum (or quantum) friction. Up to now, this friction effect…
