Analysis of Strain Fields in Silicon Nanocrystals [PDF]
Appl. Phys. Lett. 94, 191914 (2009), 2009 Strain has a crucial effect on the optical and electronic properties of nanostructures. We calculate the atomistic strain distribution in silicon nanocrystals up to a diameter of 3.2 nm embedded in an amorphous silicon dioxide matrix. A seemingly conflicting picture arises when the strain field is expressed in terms of bond lengths versus volumetric ...

Changes in core-mantle boundary heat flux patterns throughout the supercontinent cycle [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The Earth's magnetic field is generated by a dynamo in the outer core and is crucial for shielding our planet from harmful radiation. Despite the established importance of the core-mantle boundary heat flux as driver for the dynamo, open questions remain about how heat flux heterogeneities affect the magnetic field. Here, we explore the distribution of

Self-Expressive Subspace Clustering to Recognize Motion Dynamics of a Multi-Joint Coordination for Chronic Ankle Instability [PDF]
, 2019 Ankle sprains and instability are major public health concerns. Up to 70% of individuals do not fully recover from a single ankle sprain and eventually develop chronic ankle instability (CAI). The diagnosis of CAI has been mainly based on self-report rather than objective biomechanical measures. The goal of this study is to quantitatively recognize the

Electrical conductivity characterized at varying strains in spiral cut high-pressure torsion discs [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 High-pressure torsion (HPT) imparts inhomogeneous strain to process discs with low strain in the center and higher strain at the outer edge. Microscopy and microhardness indentation have been used to characterize and correlate this inhomogeneity with strain, but similar exploration with other properties has been uncommon.
