A stress-induced stripe phase of submonolayer Pd on W(110) is observed by low-energy electron microscopy. The temperature dependence of the pattern is explained by the change both in the boundary free energy and elastic relaxation energy due to the increasing boundary width. The stripes are shown to disorder when the correlation length of the condensed phase becomes comparable to its period, wh...

a lattice boltzmann method is applied to demonstrate the comparison results of simulating natural convection in an open end cavity using different hydrodynamic and thermal boundary conditions. the prandtl number in the present simulation is 0.71, rayleigh numbers are 104,105 and 106 and viscosities are selected 0.02 and 0.05. on-grid bounce-back method with first-order accuracy and non-slip met...

When three grain boundaries having misorientations generating coincidence site lattices (CSLs) meet at a triple junction, a common (triple-junction) CSL is formed. A theory is developed as a set of theorems establishing the relationships between the geometrical parameters of the grain-boundary and triple-junction CSLs. Application of the theory is demonstrated in detail for the case of the cubi...

Four-dimensional(4D) spacetime structures are investigated using the concept of the geodesic distance in the simplicial quantum gravity. On the analogy of the loop length distribution in 2D case, the scaling relations of the boundary volume distribution in 4D are discussed in various coupling regions i.e. strong-coupling phase, critical point and weak-coupling phase. In each phase the different...

An analytical model for a coastal boundary current was used to investigate heat and salt budget of exchange flows in the Persian Gulf as a marginal sea. Coastal boundary currents exchange heat and freshwater with the mosphere and the offshore waters. As heat and salinity fluxes caused by air-sea interaction and eddy activities, different temperature and salinity associated with boundary current...

We numerically study thermodynamic and structural properties of the one-component Gaussian core model at very high densities. The solid-fluid phase boundary is carefully determined. We find that the density dependence of both the freezing and melting temperatures obey the asymptotic relation, log T(f), log T(m)∝-ρ(2/3), where ρ is the number density, which is consistent with Stillinger's conjec...

New expressions are developed for the perfect reconstruction of the boundary regions of a finite-length signal after subband processing. The time-invariant filter bank is required to be uniform and paraunitary, using FIR filters regardless of phase or symmetry. They accomodate a linear boundary extension in the analysis section, and avoid periodic extensions or storage of extended subband signa...
