Coarse graining procedures are intended to well reproduce the structure of a material while increasing the simulations efficiency. However, the dynamics usually accelerates with coarse graining and a scaling procedure has to be used for dynamical data calculations. Most often a simple time-scaling coefficient is used…

An oscillating bubble near another (stationary) bubble can give rise to interesting interactions. Such a nonequilibrium (oscillating) bubble can create a jet in a smaller nearby (initially stationary) bubble as demonstrated in this study both experimentally and numerically. In the experimental study, a spark-generated…

La(Fe,Si)13 alloys display a giant magnetocaloric effect when a magnetic field is applied near the Curie temperature TC. However, to use these alloys for domestic refrigeration based on magnetic cooling, it is vital to increase TC near to the room-temperature range while simultaneously maintaining a large magnetocalor…

Theoretical methods are critical to our understanding of defect formation in block copolymer lithography processes. We have previously applied self-consistent field theory (SCFT) to study the energetics of dislocation and disclination defects prevalent in graphoepitaxy of "standing up" lamellae, and present results of…

We propose a generalization of the two-dimensional eikonal-limit cloak derived from a conformal transformation to three dimensions. The proposed cloak is a spherical shell composed of only isotropic media; it operates in the transmission mode and requires no mirror or ground plane. Unlike the well-known omnidirectiona…

Nanotubes of type (n,n) are called armchair nanotubes because of their “W” shape, which is perpendicular to the tube axis. One primary armchair nanotube is the SWCNT(5,5)-armchair. To establish a good structural relationship between the structure of molecules [SWCNT(5,5)-Armchair-CnH20] (n=20-190) 1-18, the number of…

Using a primitive water model, we find that the strength of tetrahedral interactions can change the behavior of liquid water from the liquid-liquid critical point scenario to the singularity-free scenario. Specifically, we find that the strongly tetrahedral model has a liquid-liquid critical point from which the Widom…
