We simulate the t-J model in two dimensions by means of infinite projected entangled-pair states (iPEPS) generalized to arbitrary unit cells, finding results similar to those previously obtained by the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) for wide l ...
Bridges buckled by film stress call generate a vertical displacement resulting in three-dimensional structures. We have demonstrated a micromirror lifted by buckled bridges and a vertical comb drive actuator. The structures show rounded profiles in a stabl ...
In this paper a self-opening intrafascicular neural interface (SELINE) has been modeled using both a theoretical approach and a Finite Element (FE) analysis. This innovative self opening interface has several potential advantages such as: higher selectivit ...
Focusing a high energy pulsed laser into water is a widely used method to generate a single cavitation bubble. Such a bubble is generally assumed to collapse spherically. However, the precision of the focusing system and the effect of gravity, most often n ...
The so-called first selection lemma states the following: given any set P of n points in a"e (d) , there exists a point in a"e (d) contained in at least c (d) n (d+1)-O(n (d) ) simplices spanned by P, where the constant c (d) depends on d. We present impro ...
We investigate the relevance of the metric and of the geometry in five-dimensional models of hadrons. Generically, the metric does not affect strongly the results and even flat space agrees reasonably well with the data. Nevertheless, we observe a preferen ...
A flow composed of two populations of pedestrians moving in different directions is modeled by a two-dimensional system of convection-diffusion equations. An efficient simulation of the two-dimensional model is obtained by a finite-volume scheme combined w ...
Three-dimensional (3D) writing is a promising approach to realize stretchable electronics, but is so far limited to microscale features. We developed accurate 3D writing for highly stretchable organic nanowire arrays using a nanoscale polymer meniscus. Spe ...
A new self-learning algorithm for accelerated dynamics, reconnaissance metadynamics, is proposed that is able to work with a very large number of collective coordinates. Acceleration of the dynamics is achieved by constructing a bias potential in terms of ...
Recently, a decelerator for neutral polar molecules has been presented that operates on the basis of macroscopic, three-dimensional, traveling electrostatic traps [A. Osterwalder, S. A. Meek, G. Hammer, H. Haak, and G. Meijer, Phys. Rev. A 81, 051401 (2010 ...
