We study—using molecular dynamics simulations—the temperature dependence of the dynamics in a dense short-ranged attractive colloidal glass to find evidence of the kinetic glass-glass transition predicted by the ideal mode coupling theory. According to the ...
The perfectly synchronized round model provides the powerful abstraction of crash-stop failures with atomic message delivery. This abstraction makes distributed programming very easy. We present an implementation of this abstraction in a distributed system ...
Mol.-dynamics simulations of structural relaxation in electronically excited NO-doped solid neon are presented. The NO impurity is excited to its lowest A (3ss) Rydberg state, inducing a rearrangement of the surrounding medium in the form of a bubble, due ...
The formation dynamics of charged excitons is studied in CdTe-based quantum wells by picosecond time-resolved photoluminescence. The formation time is obtained by an analysis of temporal behavior of photoluminescence signal after excitation in resonance wi ...
A weighted residual formulation of equilibrium equations for nonlinear structural analysis is presented in material description. Starting from the strong form, the weak form is derived by means of a suitable choice of weighting functions. In order to get t ...
Perception of a visual target and the responses of cortical neurons can be strongly influenced by a context surrounding the target(1-27). This observation relates to the fundamental issue of how cortical neurons code objects of the external world. In high- ...
We report on long-range interactions between adsorbates on metal surfaces with a surface state. A comparison of three adsorbate/substrate systems [Cu/Cu(111), Co/Cu(111), and Co/Ag(111)] suggests the general existence of such interactions and shows up comm ...
The dynamic piezoelectric response of SrBi4Ti4O15 ceramics with Aurivillius structure was investigated at high alternating stress, low frequencies (0.01 to 100 Hz), and temperatures from 20 to 200 degreesC. The piezoelectric nonlinearity, observed only at ...
Capture numbers are used in models of nucleation and growth on surfaces, and have been widely applied to predict nucleation densities and other quantities via rate equations. In conventional nucleation theory, much effort has historically been expended on ...
