Theoretical prediction of the homogeneous ice nucleation rate: disentangling thermodynamics and kinetics

Estimating the homogeneous ice nucleation rate from undercooled liquid water is crucial for understanding many important physical phenomena and technological applications, and challenging for both experiments and theory. From a theoretical point of view, d ...

Influence of calcium and magnesium carbonates on hydration kinetics, hydrate assemblage and microstructural development of metakaolin containing composite cements

Mohsen Ben Haha, Pawel Tadeusz Durdzinski

The hydration of metakaolin composite cements containing quartz, natural limestone and dolomite rock is studied using a multi-method approach and modelling. The study demonstrates that the calcite present in limestone and dolomite rock is very reactive. Co ...

SmB6 electron-phonon coupling constant from time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy

Alberto Crepaldi, Emmanouil Frantzeskakis

SmB6 is a mixed valence Kondo system resulting from the hybridization between localized f electrons and delocalized d electrons. We have investigated its out-of-equilibrium electron dynamics by means of time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. ...

Analysis and Design of Metabolic Engineering and Synthetic Biology Strategies using Large Scale Dynamic Models of Metabolism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Georgios Fengos

Systematic analysis for the redirection of carbon flux in metabolite-producing microorganisms requires the comprehensive understanding of their complex metabolic processes. The use of large-scale dynamic models of metabolism plays key role in the understan ...

Origin of the Spin-Orbital Liquid State in a Nearly J=0 Iridate Ba3ZnIr2O9

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Martin Mansson, Paul Gregory Freeman

We show using detailed magnetic and thermodynamic studies and theoretical calculations that the ground state of Ba3ZnIr2O9 is a realization of a novel spin-orbital liquid state. Our results reveal that Ba3ZnIr2O9 with Ir5+ (5d(4)) ions and strong spin-orbi ...

Robust Type-II Weyl Semimetal Phase in Transition Metal Diphosphides XP2 (X = Mo, W)

Oleg Yazyev, Gabriel Albert Autes

The recently discovered type-II Weyl points appear at the boundary between electron and hole pockets. Type-II Weyl semimetals that host such points are predicted to exhibit a new type of chiral anomaly and possess thermodynamic properties very different fr ...

Self-compensation due to point defects in Mg-doped GaN

Alfredo Pasquarello, Giacomo Francesco Leonardo Miceli

Using hybrid density functional theory, we address point defects susceptible to cause charge compensation upon Mg doping of GaN. We determine the free energy of formation of the nitrogen vacancy and of several Mg-related defects. The entropic contribution ...

Optimal Search Strategies for Pollutant Source Localization

Auke Ijspeert, Howard Li

This paper is aimed at developing optimal motion planning for a single autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) equipped with an on-board pollutant sensor that will maximize the sensor-related information available for source seeking. The ASV uses a nonlinear diff ...
