Transparent photonic band in metallodielectric nanostructures
Under certain conditions, a transparent photonic band can be designed into a one-dimensional metallodielectric nanofilm structure. Unlike conventional pass bands in photonic crystals, where the finite thickness of the structure affects the transmission of electromagnetic fields having frequency within the pass band, the properties of the transparent band are almost unaffected by the finite thic...
متن کاملInteractive Diffraction from Biological Nanostructures
We describe a technique for interactive rendering of diffraction effects produced by biological nanostructures, such as snake skin surface gratings. Our approach uses imagery from atomic force microscopy that accurately captures the geometry of the nanostructures responsible for structural colouration, that is, colouration due to wave interference, in a variety of animals. We develop a renderin...
متن کاملModelling the Randomness in Biological Systems
This dissertation deals with the modelling of biological processes using Stochastic Petri Nets (SPNs). Petri Nets are a formalism that comes from Computer Science (Petri 1962) and has been used since many years to model systems such as computer networks. Recently, they have also been applied to model biological processes such as genetic networks (Goss & Peccoud 1998). The outcome of this disser...
متن کاملRandomness Increases Order in Biological Evolution
In this text, we revisit part of the analysis of anti-entropy in [4] and develop further theoretical reflections. In particular, we analyze how randomness, an essential component of biological variability, is associated to the growth of biological organization, both in ontogenesis and in evolution. This approach, in particular, focuses on the role of global entropy production and provides a too...
متن کاملSuperomniphobic, transparent, and antireflection surfaces based on hierarchical nanostructures.
Optical surfaces that can repel both water and oil have much potential for applications in a diverse array of technologies including self-cleaning solar panels, anti-icing windows and windshields for automobiles and aircrafts, low-drag surfaces, and antismudge touch screens. By exploiting a hierarchical geometry made of two-tier nanostructures, primary nanopillars of length scale ∼ 100-200 nm s...
