Plasticity of the dense hydrous magnesium silicate phase A at subduction zones conditions

The plasticity of the dense hydrous magnesium silicate (DHMS) phase A, a key hydrous mineral within cold subduction zones, was investigated by two complementary approaches: high-pressure deformation experiments and computational methods. The deformation ex ...

Surface 3D Micro Free Forms: Multifunctional Microstructured Mesoporous alpha-Alumina by in Situ Slip Casting Using Excimer Laser Ablated Polycarbonate Molds

Paul Bowen, Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Sriharitha Rowthu

Ceramic surface microstructuring is a rapidly growing field with a variety of applications in tribology, wetting, biology, and so on. However, there are limitations to large-area microstructuring and fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) micro free forms. ...

First-principles core structures of < c+a > edge and screw dislocations in Mg

William Curtin, Maryam Ghazisaeidi

The core structures of < c + a > edge and screw dislocations in Mg are computed using density functional theory (DFT). Both types dissociate into two 1/2 < c + a > partials on the second-order pyramidal planes. These DFT results are then allowed to relax w ...

Discrete dislocation modeling of fracture in plastically anisotropic metals

William Curtin

The intrinsic lattice resistance to dislocation motion, or Peierls stress, depends on the core structure of the dislocation and is one essential feature controlling plastic anisotropy in materials such as HCP Zn, Mg, and Ti. Here, we implement an anisotrop ...

Analysis of dissociation of < c > and < c+a > dislocations to nucleate (1 0 -1 2) twins in Mg

William Curtin, Maryam Ghazisaeidi

A mechanism for (1 0 (1) over bar 2) twin nucleation in Mg is studied in which edge < c > and mixed < c + a > lattice dislocations dissociate into a stable twin, having at least the minimum 6-layer thickness formed by three glissile twinning dislocations, ...

Dilute-Nitride Low-Dimensional Nanostructures Formed on Non-Planar Substrates

Romain Carron

The properties of semiconductors heterostructures of nanoscopic dimensions change from that of bulk material according to the rules of quantum mechanics. The planar quantum wells (QWs) are widely used in various diode and laser devices thanks to the relati ...

The Intricate Chemistry of Cobalt(II) Halides and Bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Heron Vrubel, Gregor Kiefer

Phosphane complexes of the putative formula [CoX2(dppe)] [X = Cl, Br, I; dppe = bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane] are frequently used catalyst precursors in cobalt-catalyzed reactions. Despite their widespread use, these complexes have not been structurally c ...

Time-frequency analysis of the dynamics of different vorticity structures generated from a finite-length triangular prism

Giacomo Valerio Iungo

Time–frequency analysis of the dynamics of different wake vorticity structures, generated from a triangular prism orientated with its apex edge against the incoming wind, is carried out. Time–frequency analysis of time-series obtained with hot-wire anemome ...

Experimental investigation on the connection between flow fluctuations and vorticity dynamics in the near wake of a triangular prism placed vertically on a plane

Giacomo Valerio Iungo

Experiments are carried out to investigate on the connection between flow fluctuations and dynamics of different vorticity structures in the wake of an equilateral triangular prism placed vertically on a plane with its apex edge against the incoming flow. ...

Fine structure of exciton complexes in high-symmetry quantum dots: Effects of symmetry breaking and symmetry elevation

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Marc-André Dupertuis, Daniel Oberli

Quantum dots (QDs) of high symmetry (e.g., C3v) have degenerate bright exciton states, unlike QDs of C2v symmetry, making them intrinsically suitable for the generation of entangled photon pairs. Deviations from C3v symmetry are detected in real QDs by pol ...
