An element-based formulation for ES-FEM and FS-FEM models for implementation in standard solid mechanics finite element codes for 2D and 3D static analysis

Edge-based and face-based smoothed finite element methods (ES-FEM and FS-FEM, respectively) are modified versions of the finite element method allowing to achieve more accurate results and to reduce sensitivity to mesh distortion, at least for linear eleme ...

Excitonic absorption and defect-related emission in three-dimensional MoS2 pyramids

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Luca Francaviglia, Marco Negri

MoS2 micro-pyramids have demonstrated interesting properties in the fields of photonics and non-linear optics. In this work, we show the excitonic absorption and cathodoluminescence (CL) emission of MoS2 micro-pyramids grown by chemical vapor deposition (C ...

On Simplices in Diameter Graphs in R-4

Andrei Kupavskii

A graph G is a diameter graph in R-d if its vertex set is a finite subset in R-d of diameter 1 and edges join pairs of vertices a unit distance apart. It is shown that if a diameter graph G in R-4 contains the complete subgraph K on five vertices, then any ...

Protrusion-retraction switches and traction forces in spontaneous cell polarization

Alicia Carine Bornert

Cell migration is a fundamental property of all animal cells which is involved in processes such as embryogenesis, immune response, tissue regeneration and cancer metastasis. Directional migration requires cell polarization which could happen in response t ...

Bloch theorem with revised boundary conditions applied to glide and screw symmetric, quasi-one-dimensional structures

Florian Paul Robert Maurin

Bloch theorem is useful for analyzing wave propagation in periodic systems. It has been widely used to determine the energy bands of various translationally-periodic crystals and with the advent of nanoscale structures like nanotubes, it has been extended ...

Polynomial diffusions and applications in finance

Damir Filipovic, Martin Larsson

This paper provides the mathematical foundation for polynomial diffusions. They play an important role in a growing range of applications in finance, including financial market models for interest rates, credit risk, stochastic volatility, commodities and ...

A microfluidic platform for high-throughput multiplexed protein quantitation

Sebastian Maerkl, Jose Luis Garcia Cordero, Francesca Volpetti

We present a high-throughput microfluidic platform capable of quantitating up to 384 biomarkers in 4 distinct samples by immunoassay. The microfluidic device contains 384 unit cells, which can be individually programmed with pairs of capture and detection ...

Modeling of percolation of globular-equiaxed grains in Al-Cu alloys

Michel Rappaz, Jean-Luc Desbiolles, Christophe Mondoux

A new mesoscopic model able to describe percolation of globular-equiaxed grains, highly relevant for hot tearing formation in castings, has been developed. This model is inspired from the granular model of Sistaninia et al. [1-5] that considers polyhedral ...

First-principles core structures of < c+a > edge and screw dislocations in Mg

William Curtin, Maryam Ghazisaeidi

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 ...

Simplex solids in SU(N) Heisenberg models on the kagome and checkerboard lattices

Frédéric Mila, Karlo Penc

We present a numerical study of the SU(N) Heisenberg model with the fundamental representation at each site for the kagome lattice (for N = 3) and the checkerboard lattice (for N = 4), which are the line graphs of the honeycomb and square lattices and thus ...

A rigid triple of conjugacy classes in G(2)

Claude Marion, Martin W. Liebeck

We produce a rigid triple of classes in the algebraic group G(2) in characteristic 5, and use it to show that the finite groups G(2)(5(n)) are not (2, 5, 5)-generated. ...

Optimal decision trees for point location in polytopic data sets - application to explicit MPC

Colin Neil Jones

Explicit Model Predictive Control (EMPC) produces control laws defined over a set of polytopic regions in the state space. In this paper we present a method to create a binary search tree for point location in such polytopic sets, in order to provide a fas ...

Fine structure of exciton complexes in high-symmetry quantum dots: Effects of symmetry breaking and symmetry elevation

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Marc-André Dupertuis, Daniel Oberli

Quantum dots (QDs) of high symmetry (e.g., C3v) have degenerate bright exciton states, unlike QDs of C2v symmetry, making them intrinsically suitable for the generation of entangled photon pairs. Deviations from C3v symmetry are detected in real QDs by pol ...

Properties of Ir4 clusters in the gas phase and on oxide substrates

Vladan Stevanovic

Results of a theoretical study on the properties of Ir4 clusters in the gas–phase and on oxide surfaces are presented. The work is based on density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and ultrasoft pseudopotentials. ...

Propagation and absorption of low frequency waves in two and three dimensional warm plasmas

Nicolas Mellet

In order to model a broader range of phenomena taking place in three-dimensional plasmas, the LEMan code has been extended to a warm formulation. As the wave propagation is strongly influenced by the parallel wave vector, special attention has been paid fo ...

Application of the superspace approach to members of the ferrite family

Ivan Orlov

The superspace concept is a new crystallographic approach for the generalisation of symmetry, structural models and structure dependent properties. Although the original motivation for the superspace was intended to describe symmetry of aperiodic crystals, ...
