The effects miniaturization has on microsystems and related fields are the central subject of this work. Physical phenomena we are used to in our conventionally sized world seldom work at smaller scales. Before attempting to design a microsystem or try to ...
We present a fully Hamiltonian and computationally efficient scheme to include the electrostatic effects due to the classical environment in a Car-Parrinello mixed quantum mechanics/mol. mechanics (QM/MM) method. The polarization due to the MM atoms close ...
In this paper, the performances of packet-level media-independent FEC schemes are computed in terms of both packet loss ratio and average burst length of multimedia data after error recovery. The set of equations leading to the analytical formulation of bo ...
We derive the effective Bose Hamiltonian for a system of interacting excitons applying the Usui transformation. The fermionic nonlinearities are consistently included, leading to a density dependent correction to the kinetic Hamiltonian and to a saturation ...
We derived an expression that enables the accurate estn. of equil. properties using non-Hamiltonian dynamics. The major advantage of our scheme is that a time av. over a single non-Hamiltonian trajectory can be employed instead of an ensemble av. Hence, it ...
We present a semiclassical technique that relies on replacing complicated classical manifold structure with simpler manifolds, which are then evaluated by the usual semiclassical rules. Under circumstances where the original manifold structure gives poor o ...
We describe recent continuous wave studies of stimulated polariton scattering in semiconductor microcavities, with emphasis on the variety of new physics which has been observed in the last few years. The ability to manipulate both exciton and photon prope ...
Drainage of a saturated horizontal aquifer following a sudden drawdown is reanalyzed using the Boussinesq equation. The effect of the finite length of the aquifer is considered in detail. An analytical approximation based on a superposition principle yield ...
A review. The theor. modeling of chem. active transition metal (TM) centers is a notoriously difficult task. The metal-ligand interactions in these complexes are often highly directional and the concoction of suitable analytic interaction potentials can be ...
A systematic procedure to identify the plasma equilibrium response to the poloidal field coil voltages has been applied to the JT-60U tokamak. The required response was predicted with a high accuracy by a state-space model derived from first principles. Th ...
