Some Like It Flat: Decoupled h-BN Monolayer Substrates for Aligned Graphene Growth

On the path to functional graphene electronics, suitable templates for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of high -mobility graphene are of great interest. Among various substrates, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has established itself as one of the mo ...

Efficient Absorbing Layers for Weakly Compressible Flows

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Zhen Gao

Seeking to develop efficient and accurate absorbing layers for the low-speed weakly compressible Navier-Stokes equations, we exploit the connection to the BGK-approximation to develop an absorbing layer with qualities similar to that of the perfectly match ...

Finite ion temperature effects on scrape-off layer turbulence

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Annamaria Mosetto

Ion temperature has been measured to be of the same order, or higher, than the electron temperature in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of tokamak machines, questioning its importance in determining the SOL turbulent dynamics. Here, we present a detailed analysi ...

Interaction between counterpropagating Rossby waves and capillary waves in planar shear flows

François Gallaire, Luca Biancofiore

A counterintuitive destabilizing effect of the surface tension in planar wakes has been observed by Tammisola et al. ["Effect of surface tension on global modes of confined wake flows," Phys. Fluids 23, 014108 (2011)] and Biancofiore et al. ["Direct numeri ...

Wave propagation in periodic buckled beams

Florian Paul Robert Maurin

Folding of the earth's crust, wrinkling of the skin, rippling of fruits, vegetables and leaves are all examples of natural structures that can have periodic buckling. Periodic buckling is also present in engineering structures such as compressed lattices, ...

Fabrication of flexible blade models from a silicone-based polymer to test the effect of surface corrugations on drag and blade motion

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

Macrocystis blades develop longitudinal corrugations in regions with strong current and wave action. This study examined the effect of corrugations on blade motion and blade drag by constructing flexible blades with different corrugation amplitude and a co ...

Orbital textures and charge density waves in transition metal dichalcogenides

Helmuth Berger

Low-dimensional electron systems, as realized in layered materials, often tend to spontaneously break the symmetry of the underlying nuclear lattice by forming so-called density waves(1); a state of matter that at present attracts enormous attention(2-6). ...

Field-induced density wave in the heavy-fermion compound CeRhIn5

Philip Johannes Walter Moll

Strong electron correlations lead to a variety of distinct ground states, such as magnetism, charge order or superconductivity. Understanding the competitive or cooperative interplay between neighbouring phases is an outstanding challenge in physics. CeRhI ...
