The influence of secondary phase particles on grain growth (Zener pinning) is simulated in two dimensions using a level set method. Several simulations with circular particles are performed to study the influence of particle surface fraction and distributi ...
Calculations of exact-exchange (EXX) and random phase approximation (RPA)-correlation energies within the formally exact adiabatic connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem formalism have recently been carried out for a number of isolated and condensed sy ...
We consider the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate with two internal states, coupled through a coherent drive. We focus on a specific quench protocol, in which the sign of the coupling field is suddenly changed. At a mean-field level, the system is tra ...
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 ...
A new method for robust fixed-order H-infinity controller design for uncertain time-delay systems is presented. It is shown that the H-infinity robust performance condition can be represented by a set of convex constraints with respect to the parameters of ...
We introduce a new ab initio derived reactive potential for the simulation of CdTe within density functional theory (DFT) and apply it to calculate both static and dynamical properties of a number of systems (bulk solid, defective structures, liquid, surfa ...
Cet ouvrage propose une théorie unifiée, originale et novatrice de la déformation des milieux fluides et solides. Les équations fondamentales d’évolution des milieux déformables y sont développées de façon méthodique et rigoureuse, sous forme vectorielle e ...

In this thesis we describe the results of simulations at the atomic level of a simple model of a metallic glass under cyclic shear deformation. We show that under oscillatory cyclic load, systems of Lennard-Jones particles exhibit a non-equilibrium transit ...
A new algorithm, called boosted hybrid method, is proposed for the simulation of chemical reaction systems with scale-separation in time and disparity in species population. For such stiff systems, the algorithm can automatically identify scale-separation ...
In the real world, diffusion-limited reactions in chemistry and biology mostly occur in crowded environments, such as macromolecular complex formation in the cell. Despite the paramount importance of such phenomena, theoretical approaches still mainly rely ...
