In PureB technology, a layer of pure boron is deposited on Si using a commercial single-wafer Si/SiGe epitaxial CVD reactor, forming ideal nm-deep ultrashallow junctions with low saturation currents [1]. As another attractive feature, the PureB layer itsel ...
We perform a hybrid experimental and numerical study of the localization of deformation in thin spherical elastic shells under indentation. Past a critical indentation, the deformation of the shell ceases to be axisymmetric and sharp points of localized cu ...
We numerically investigate electronic states, degeneracy lifting, and valley splitting in the conduction band of rolled-up Si/Ge nanotubes. Results are derived from a tight-binding model where the input equilibrium positions of the atoms are obtained by me ...
We present results from an experimental investigation of the indentation of nonspherical pressurized elastic shells with a positive Gauss curvature. A predictive framework is proposed that rationalizes the dependence of the local rigidity of an indented sh ...
We establish basic local existence as well as a stability result concerning small perturbations of the Catenoid minimal surface in R-3 under hyperbolic vanishing mean curvature flow. ...
This thesis is focused on the study of the morphology of micropores formed during solidification of metallic alloys. Micropores constrained to form in well-developed dendritic solid network adopt complex non-spherical shapes. Previous studies using X-ray t ...
Despite the rapid evolution of computational power, simulation of meander dynamics by means of reduced and computationally less expensive models remains practically relevant for investigation of large-scale and long-term processes, probabilistic prediction ...
The correction of field curvature by space or time multiplexing enables the design of a very simple imaging system for mobile device. Here, the optical design is presented and methods to correct the field curvature are discussed. This imaging system can be ...
Transformation manifolds are quite attractive for image analysis applications that require transformation invariance properties. The geometric structure of a transformation manifold has a profound influence on the design of processing algorithm, and the cu ...
We present a geometry processing framework that allows direct manipulation or preservation of positional, metric, and curvature constraints anywhere on the surface of a geometric model. Target values for these properties can be specified point-wise or as i ...
