Shapes of a Suspended Curly Hair

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We investigate how natural curvature affects the configuration of a thin elastic rod suspended under its own weight, as when a single strand of hair hangs under gravity. We combine precision desktop experiments, numerics, and theoretical analysis to explor ...

Fidelity concepts used in UWB systems

Anja Skrivervik, Mohsen Koohestani

Since its introduction the fidelity concept has been used to evaluate the time behavior of UWB antennas. However, fidelity has been employed with different meanings. This paper clarifies the differences between fidelity factor, system fidelity factor, and ...

Phase compositions and equilibria in the CaO-Al2O3-Fe2O3-SO3 system, for assemblages containing ye'elimite and ferrite Ca-2(Al,Fe)O-5

Karen Scrivener

Phase equilibria in the CaO-Al2O3-Fe2O3-SO3 system have been studied, mainly at 1325 degrees C. In particular the solid solution compositions of ye'elimite Ca-4(Al6O12)SO4 and brownmillerite (C-2(A,F)) phases have been analysed and used to estimate the com ...

Arrested demixing opens route to bigels

Nicolas Dorsaz, Francesco Varrato, Giuseppe Foffi, Maxim Belushkin

Understanding and, ultimately, controlling the properties of amorphous materials is one of the key goals of material science. Among the different amorphous structures, a very important role is played by colloidal gels. It has been only recently understood ...

Free energy methods in coupled electron ion Monte Carlo

Elisa Liberatore

Recent progress in simulation methodologies and in computer power allow first-principles simulations of condensed systems with Born–Oppenheimer electronic energies obtained by quantum Monte Carlo methods. Computing free energies and therefore getting a qua ...

Supercooling of nanoscale Ga drops with controlled impurity levels

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Emanuele Uccelli

We use in situ observations by variable temperature transmission electron microscopy on Ga drops at the tips of GaAs nanowires to investigate the phase behavior of nanoscale Ga. Experiments on pure Ga drops are compared with drops containing well-defined l ...

Liquid-solid transition in fully ionized hydrogen at ultra-high pressures

Elisa Liberatore

We study the phase diagram of an effective ion model of fully ionized hydrogen at ultra-high pressure. We assume that the protons interact with a screened Coulomb potential derived from a static linear response theory. This model accurately reproduces the ...

Adaptive Networks with Noisy Links

Ali H. Sayed

In biological systems, animals exhibit organized behavior that arises from localized interactions. The interaction is implemented through information exchange, either directly or indirectly. Adaptive networks, consisting of a collection of nodes with learn ...

Mean-field phase diagram of the one-dimensional Bose gas in a disorder potential

Vincenzo Savona, Luca Fontanesi

We study the quantum phase transition of the 1D weakly interacting Bose gas in the presence of disorder. We characterize the phase transition as a function of disorder and interaction strengths, by inspecting the long-range behavior of the one-body density ...

Negative Poisson's Ratio Behavior Induced by an Elastic Instability

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

Negative Poisson's ratio behavior has been uncovered in cellular solids that comprise a solid matrix with a square array of circular voids. The simplicity of the fabrication implies robust behavior, which is relevant over a range of scales. The behavior re ...
