Multiscale Poromechanics of Wet Cement Paste [PDF]
Capillary effects such as imbibition-drying cycles impact the mechanics of granular systems over time. A multiscale poromechanics framework was applied to cement paste, that is the most common building material, experiencing broad humidity variations ...

Coulomb Interactions and Nanoscale Electronic Inhomogeneities in Manganites [PDF]
We address the issue of endemic electronic inhomogeneities in manganites using extensive simulations on a new model with Coulomb interactions amongst two electronic fluids, one localized (polaronic), the other extended (band-like), and dopant ions.

The challenges of nanostructures for theory [PDF]
It is tempting to believe that modelling in nanotechnology is much the same as that for conventional solid-state physics. However, important areas of nanotechnology address different systems.

Robust coupling of superconducting order parameter in a mesoscale NbN-Fe-NbN epitaxial structure [PDF]
We report an unconventional and promising route to self-assemble distributed superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor (S-F-S) Josephson Junctions on single crystal [100] MgO. These structures consist of [110] epitaxial nano-plaquettes of Fe covered with

Renormalization group approach to multiscale modelling in materials science
Dendritic growth, and the formation of material microstructure in general, necessarily involves a wide range of length scales from the atomic up to sample dimensions. The phase field approach of Langer, enhanced by optimal asymptotic methods and adaptive
