Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) manifesting in asymmetric layered ferromagnetic films gives rise to non-colinear spin structures stabilizing magnetization configurations with nontrivial topology. In this work reversal, domain structure, and strength of DMI are related the structure W/Co/Pt multilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Applied growth method enables fabrication systems hig...

The interaction of interfacial solitary waves of algebraic type is investigated on the basis of a higherorder Benjamin-Ono equation. By developing a multisoliton perturbation theory, we show analytically that the overtaking collision between two solitary waves exhibits the phase shift but the amplitudes are not altered after interaction. The predication of the phase shift that takes place betwe...

A coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation was used to investigate the stress-strain behavior of nanorod-filled polymer composites. The effects of the interfacial interaction, aspect ratio of fillers, filler functionalization, chemical couplings between the polymer and the filler and the filler loading on the mechanical reinforcement were explored. The results indicate that there exists an ...

The calculation of protein interaction energetics is of fundamental interest, yet accurate quantities are difficult to obtain due to the complex and dynamic nature of protein interfaces. This is further complicated by the presence of water molecules, which can exhibit transient interactions of variable duration and strength with the protein surface. The T-cell receptor (TCR) and its staphylococ...

The wettability of amorphous and annealing-induced nanocrystalline Fe78B13Si9 ribbons by molten Sn and Bi at 600 K was measured using an improved sessile drop method. The results demonstrate that the structural relaxation and crystallization in the amorphous substrates do not substantially change the wettability with molten Bi because of their invariable physical interaction, but remarkably det...
