Multi-scale alignment of carbon-nanotube-encapsulated molecular arrays for nonlinear optics. Ghent University
Organic dipolar molecules have attracted much interest over the past decades because of their very large nonlinear optical (NLO) response, holding promise for applications in photonics. Yet, a long standing issue is that to achieve a macroscopic NLO response, the asymmetry intrinsic to dipolar molecules needs to be extended from the molecular scale, over the supramolecular mesoscale, all the way to the macroscopic scale – yet dipole-dipole ...

Multi-scale modeling of solar wind expansion, acceleration, and turbulence KU Leuven
The solar wind (SW), a continuous stream of charged particles released from the Sun, fills the interplanetary space with "collisionless" plasma where charged particles interact only weakly. Recently launched space missions provide measurements for the SW plasma (e.g. density and temperature) from distances unprecedentedly close to the solar surface. In particular, Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter (SolO) are now reporting intriguing ...
Multi-temporal, multi-source and multi-scale remote sensing for the monitoring of Conference pear tree phenology KU Leuven
The general objective of the present research is to describe and monitor Conference pear tree phenology, by means of air- and spaceborne multispectral and hyperspectral imagery. Specific focus will be on a multi-temporal approach. The influence of pedo-climatic and agronomic factors on phenology variability will be investigated. To achieve this objective, the following steps have been set: 1. Characterizing Conference pear tree phenology by ...
From 2D to 3D crystals: a multi-scale, multi-technique and multi-system approach of the crystallization of organic molecules KU Leuven
The occurrence of two or more crystal structures for a given molecule, a phenomenon which is called polymorphism, is ubiquitous to various classes of synthetic and natural compounds. Examples of polymorphism are known in numerous application fields, such as food, explosives, pigments, semiconductors, fertilizers, and pharmaceutical drugs. Different crystal structures, so-called polymorphs, of the same compound exhibit sometimes very different ...
