Micro fluidics is a young discipline. During its beginning, it was mainly an academic field in where researchers study the behavior of fluids at micro scale and how it can be modified with operative and experimental ...

The aim of this thesis is focused on the evaluation of different micro-mechanical technologies such as: Wire Electro-Discharge Machining/Sandblasting, Abrasive Water Jet and Micro-End Milling, for the fabrication of ...

In this work, we study the lasing conditions of the transverse electric (TE) modes of micro- and nanotubes coated internally with a thin metallic layer. This geometry may tackle some of the problems of nanolasers and spasers ...

Strong couplings between the mechanical, electric, magnetic, fluidic and thermal fields exist in the behaviour laws describing microsystems. Also, due to the large surface/volume ratio, surface forces such as the electrostatic ...

This work describes an automated opto-fluidic system for parallel non-contact manipulation of microcomponents. The strong dynamics of laser-driven thermocapillary flows were used to drag microcomponents at high speeds. ...

An experimental tool for determination of the near wall transport parameters in a micro channel, supported by flow simulation, is presented. The method is based on the transient flow response due to convective diffusion, ...
