Currently, most academic discourse looking at the advantages of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is kept very general. This article evaluates how use BIM affects social and economic aspects seven different tunneling projects. The analysis based on internal project documentation on-site visits, resulting in authors subjective perception. Due to a confidentiality policy given by ongoing proje...

We propose and investigate thermometry of a setup employing dual quantum dots with staircase ground state configuration. The stair-case configuration actuates thermally controlled inelastic tunnelling, which translates into temperature sensitive conductance, thereby inducing thermometry. performance the set-up is then analyzed master equation (QME) for such systems in sequential tunnelling regi...

The time evolution of plane waves in the presence of a 1-dimensional square quantum barrier is considered. Comparison is made between the cases of an infinite and a cut-off (shutter) initial plane wave. The difference is relevant when the results are applied to the analysis of the tunnelling regime. This work is focused on the analytical calculation of the time-evolved solution and highlights t...

A UV pulsed laser writing technique to fabricate metal nanoparticle patterns on low-cost substrates is demonstrated. We use this process to directly write nanoparticle gas sensors, which operate via quantum tunnelling of electrons at room temperature across the device. The advantages of this method are no lithography requirements, high precision nanoparticle placement, and room temperature proc...

It is shown how the model which was introduced in [1] allows to mimic the quantum tunnelling between two symmetric one-dimensional wells. Following the publication of [1], some readers asked me to provide more details on the concluding remark about tunnelling (first paragraph of § 6). Strictly speaking, tunnelling is a quantum phenomenon that refers to any process that is classically forbidden ...
