Controlled Growth of Boron Nitride in Various Phases

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Phase‐selective boron nitride growth is presented as a unified materials‐design problem across hexagonal, rhombohedral, cubic, and amorphous phases. By linking synthesis routes to thermodynamic stability, kinetic accessibility, surface diffusion, interfacial templating, and energetic activation, this review clarifies how bonding and stacking are ...

Atomistic Insights into Gradient Architecture Driven Strengthening in Additively Manufactured Cu–Ni Stepwise Graded Structures

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Atomistic simulations reveal the interlayer mechanics of additively manufactured materials, showing how build direction and layer interfaces govern diffusion, defect evolution, and mechanical strength. Distinct anisotropic behavior arises from interface‐controlled deformation and dislocation activity, establishing critical links between microstructural

A counting function for the sequence of perfect powers

, 2006
A natural number of the form mn where m is a positive integer and n 2 is called a perfect power. Unsolved problems concerning the set of perfect powers abound throughout much of number theory. The most famous of these is known as the Catalan conjecture,

Author manuscript, published in "ROADEF (2008)" Can we use perfect simulation for non-monotonic Markovian systems?

, 2008
Simulation approaches are alternative methods to estimate the stationary behavior of stochastic systems by providing samples distributed according to the stationary distribution, even when it is impossible to compute this distribution numerically.

Pure Subgame-Perfect Equilibria in Free Transition Games [PDF]

We consider a class of stochastic games, where each state is identified with a player. At any moment during play, one of the players is called active. The active player can terminate the game, or he can announce any player, who then becomes the active ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuator Matrix for Large Area Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A scalable approach is used to manufacture a digitally‐controllable, 2D 5 × 5 actuator matrix. The elements of the matrix are produced by direct ink writing of a liquid crystal elastomer ‘artificial muscle’ on large‐area flexible thin‐film heaters. In optimizing the low‐power actuators, multiple heater designs and substrate materials are investigated ...
