In this topical review, an introduction to these new thin-film systems is given. The concept of quasicrystals and their approximants is explained for BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 derived OQCs and related periodic structures in these 2D oxides. In situ microscopy unravels the high-temperature formation process of OQCs on Pt(111). The dodecagonal structure is discussed regarding tiling statistics and tiling decoration based on the results of atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy and various diffraction techniques. In addition, angle-resolved ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results prove a metallic character of the 2D oxide.}, language = {en} } @misc{NeyretLeProvostBoesingetal., author = {Neyret, Margot and Le Provost, Ga{\"e}tane and Boesing, Andrea Larissa and Schneider, Florian D. and Baulechner, Dennis and Bergmann, Joana and Vries, Franciska T. de and Fiore-Donno, Anna Maria and Geisen, Stefan and Goldmann, Kezia and Merges, Anna and Saifutdinov, Ruslan A. and Simons, Nadja K. and Tobias, Joseph A. and Zaitsev, Andrey S. and Gossner, Martin M. and Jung, Kirsten and Kandeler, Ellen and Krauss, Jochen and Penone, Caterina and Schloter, Michael and Schulz, Stefanie and Staab, Michael and Wolters, Volkmar and Apostolakis, Antonios and Birkhofer, Klaus and Boch, Steffen and Boeddinghaus, Runa S. and Bolliger, Ralph and Bonkowski, Michael and Buscot, Fran{\c{c}}ois and Dumack, Kenneth and Fischer, Markus and Gan, Huei Ying and Heinze, Johannes and H{\"o}lzel, Norbert and John, Katharina and Klaus, Valentin H. and Kleinebecker, Till and Marhan, Sven and M{\"u}ller, J{\"o}rg and Renner, Swen C. and Rillig, Matthias C. and Schenk, No{\"e}lle V. and Sch{\"o}ning, Ingo and Schrumpf, Marion and Seibold, Sebastian and Socher, Stephanie A. and Solly, Emily F. and Teuscher, Miriam and Kleunen, Mark van and Wubet, Tesfaye and Manning, Peter}, title = {A slow-fast trait continuum at the whole community level in relation to land-use intensification}, series = {Nature Communications}, volume = {15}, journal = {Nature Communications}, number = {1}, issn = {2041-1723}, doi = {10.1038/s41467-024-45113-5}, abstract = {AbstractOrganismal functional strategies form a continuum from slow- to fast-growing organisms, in response to common drivers such as resource availability and disturbance. However, whether there is synchronisation of these strategies at the entire community level is unclear. Here, we combine trait data for 2800 above- and belowground taxa from 14 trophic guilds spanning a disturbance and resource availability gradient in German grasslands. The results indicate that most guilds consistently respond to these drivers through both direct and trophically mediated effects, resulting in a 'slow-fast' axis at the level of the entire community. Using 15 indicators of carbon and nutrient fluxes, biomass production and decomposition, we also show that fast trait communities are associated with faster rates of ecosystem functioning. These findings demonstrate that 'slow' and 'fast' strategies can be manifested at the level of whole communities, opening new avenues of ecosystem-level functional classification.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{UhligGaudetLangaetal., author = {Uhlig, Sebastian and Gaudet, Matthieu and Langa, Sergiu and Schimmanz, Klaus and Conrad, Holger and Kaiser, Bert and Schenk, Harald}, title = {Electrostatically in-plane driven silicon micropump for modular configuration}, series = {Conference proceedings, The 3rd Conference on MicroFluidic Handling Systems (MFHS 2017), 4 - 6 October 2017, Enschede, The Netherlands}, booktitle = {Conference proceedings, The 3rd Conference on MicroFluidic Handling Systems (MFHS 2017), 4 - 6 October 2017, Enschede, The Netherlands}, publisher = {University of Twente}, address = {Enschede}, pages = {57 -- 60}, language = {en} } @misc{ConradGaudetSchenketal., author = {Conrad, Holger and Gaudet, Matthieu and Schenk, Harald and Uhlig, Sebastian}, title = {Mikromechanical devices with mechanical actuators}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GaudetUhligStolzetal., author = {Gaudet, Matthieu and Uhlig, Sebastian and Stolz, Michael and Arscott, S. and Conrad, Holger and Langa, Sergiu and Kaiser, Bert and Schenk, Harald}, title = {Electrostatic bending actuators with liquid filled nanometer scale gap}, series = {MEMS 2017, the 30th IEEE International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, January 22-26 2017}, booktitle = {MEMS 2017, the 30th IEEE International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, January 22-26 2017}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway, NJ}, isbn = {978-1-5090-5078-9}, pages = {175 -- 178}, language = {en} } @misc{LangaConradKaiseretal., author = {Langa, Sergiu and Conrad, Holger and Kaiser, Bert and Stolz, Michael and Gaudet, Matthieu and Uhlig, Sebastian and Schimmanz, Klaus and Schenk, Harald}, title = {Technological aspects of a new micro-electro-mechanical actuation principle: nano e-drive}, series = {Microsystem Technologies}, volume = {23}, journal = {Microsystem Technologies}, number = {1}, issn = {1432-1858}, doi = {10.1007/s00542-017-3360-6}, pages = {5697 -- 5708}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchenkConradGaudetetal., author = {Schenk, Harald and Conrad, Holger and Gaudet, Matthieu and Uhlig, Sebastian and Kaiser, Bert and Langa, Sergiu and Stolz, Michael and Schimmanz, Klaus}, title = {A novel electrostatic micro-actuator class and its application potential for optical MEMS}, series = {2016 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics,31 July-04 August 2016, Singapore, proceedings}, booktitle = {2016 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics,31 July-04 August 2016, Singapore, proceedings}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway, NJ}, isbn = {978-1-5090-1036-3}, doi = {10.1109/OMN.2016.7565867}, pages = {Tu 3.11-1 -- Tu 3.11-2}, language = {en} } @misc{ConradGaudetSchenketal., author = {Conrad, Holger and Gaudet, Matthieu and Schenk, Harald and Uhlig, Sebastian}, title = {Micromechanical devices with mechanical actuators}, language = {en} } @misc{ConradKaiserGaudetetal., author = {Conrad, Holger and Kaiser, Bert and Gaudet, Matthieu and Langa, Sergiu and Stolz, Michael and Uhlig, Sebastian and Schimmanz, Klaus and Schenk, Harald}, title = {A novel electrostatic actuator class}, series = {Procedia Engineering}, volume = {168}, journal = {Procedia Engineering}, issn = {1877-7058}, doi = {10.1016/j.proeng.2016.11.454}, pages = {1533 -- 1536}, language = {en} } @misc{UhligGaudetLangaetal., author = {Uhlig, Sebastian and Gaudet, Matthieu and Langa, Sergiu and Schimmanz, Klaus and Conrad, Holger and Kaiser, Bert and Schenk, Harald}, title = {Electrostatically driven in-plane silicon micropump for modular configuration}, series = {Micromachines}, volume = {9}, journal = {Micromachines}, number = {4}, issn = {2072-666X}, doi = {10.3390/mi9040190}, pages = {15}, abstract = {In this paper, an in-plane reciprocating displacement micropump for liquids and gases which is actuated by a new class of electrostatic bending actuators is reported. The so-called "Nano Electrostatic Drive" is capable of deflecting beyond the electrode gap distance, enabling large generated forces and deflections. Depending on the requirements of the targeted system, the micropump can be modularly designed to meet the specified differential pressures and flow rates by a serial and parallel arrangement of equally working pumping base units. Two selected, medium specific micropump test structure devices for pumping air and isopropanol were designed and investigated. An analytical approach of the driving unit is presented and two-way Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulations of the micropump were carried out to determine the dynamic behavior. The simulation showed that the test structure device designed for air expected to overcome a total differential pressure of 130 kPa and deliver a flow rate of 0.11 sccm at a 265 Hz driving frequency. The isopropanol design is expected to generate 210 kPa and pump 0.01 sccm at 21 Hz. The device is monolithically fabricated by CMOS-compatible bulk micromachining processes under the use of standard materials only, such as crystalline silicon, silicon dioxide and alumina.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchenkConradGaudetetal., author = {Schenk, Harald and Conrad, Holger and Gaudet, Matthieu and Uhlig, Sebastian and Kaiser, Bert and Langa, Sergiu and Stolz, Michael and Schimmanz, Klaus}, title = {A contribution to the expansion of the applicability of electrostatic forces in micro transducers}, series = {MOEMS and Miniaturized Systems XVI, 30 January-1 February 2017, San Francisco, California, United States}, booktitle = {MOEMS and Miniaturized Systems XVI, 30 January-1 February 2017, San Francisco, California, United States}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Washington, USA}, isbn = {978-1-5106-0674-6}, doi = {10.1117/12.2249575}, language = {en} } @misc{BorciaBestehornUhligetal., author = {Borcia, Rodica and Bestehorn, Michael and Uhlig, Sebastian and Gaudet, Matthieu and Schenk, Harald}, title = {Liquid pumping induced by transverse forced vibrations of an elastic beam: A lubrication approach}, series = {Physical Review Fluids}, volume = {3}, journal = {Physical Review Fluids}, number = {8}, issn = {2469-990X}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevFluids.3.084202}, abstract = {Two liquid pumps are investigated theoretically and numerically: a single thin liquid layer actuated by a periodic force at an elastic beam and a two-layer geometry actuated by an elastic beam. For the second geometry, the beam actuates the liquid from both sides. For both pumps, the liquid film thickness is small compared to the lateral characteristic length of the system. A lubrication theory is developed. The Euler-Bernoulli equation for transverse deformations of an elastic beam is coupled to the fundamental hydrodynamic equations: the Navier-Stokes equation and a continuity equation in the long-wave approximation. In this way, one connects the transverse displacement of the beam with the hydrodynamic quantities (pressure, velocity fields, and flow rates). Appropriate boundary conditions incorporate the function of the valves. The derivation of the theoretical model is followed by numerical simulations. We estimate flow rates (in two and three spatial dimensions) for different system parameters and we compute the efficiency of a well-designed liquid pump.}, language = {en} }
