In this work, using the Cu–Ni (111) semi-coherent interface as a model system, we combine atomistic simulations and defect theory to reveal the relaxation mechanisms, structure, and properties of semi-coherent interfaces. By calculating the generalized stacking fault energy (GSFE) profile of the interface, two stable structures and a high-energy structure are located. During the relaxation, the...

Reliable applications of affective brain-computer interfaces (aBCI) in realistic, multi-modal environments require a detailed understanding of the processes involved in emotions. To explore the modalityspecific nature of affective responses, we studied neurophysiological responses (i.e., EEG) of 24 participants during visual, auditory, and audiovisual affect stimulation. The affect induction pr...

Both the Scalable Coherent Interface (SCI) and the Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA) aim at providing effective cluster communication. While the former is a standardized subnet technology the latter is a generic architecture which can be applied to a variety of physical medias. Both approaches provide user level communication, but they achieve it on different ways and thus, have different ch...

We have used an all-optical technique to observe optical phonons localized at a buried interface. The technique is based on coherent excitation of the interfacial vibrational mode by femtosecond laser irradiation and detection of the free-induction decay of the coherent oscillation by time-resolved second-harmonic generation. For native oxide-covered GaAs ~100!, we observe a single-optical phon...

In semi-coherent interface, a superposed network of interface dislocations accommodates the attendant coherency strains in the adjacent crystals and their intersections (referred to as nodes) can act as sinks and sources for point defects because of the low formation energy. Nodes in {111} semi-coherent interfaces are characterized with a spiral pattern (SP), wherein the line direction of each ...

A new platform based on a hybrid optomechanical microcavity for coupling of electrically excited gigahertz phonons and exciton-polaritons provides coherent interface between microwave near-infrared photons.

The coupling of excited surface polaritons with thermal radiation through diffraction by gratings results in coherent thermal emission in a certain frequency range toward well-defined directions for p polarization. A planar coherent source is proposed that uses multilayers of negative permittivity (epsilon) and negative permeability (mu) materials. Owing to the excitation of surface polaritons ...

We propose a method to achieve coherent coupling between nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond and superconducting (SC) flux qubits. The resulting coupling can be used to create a coherent interaction between the spin states of distant NV centers mediated by the flux qubit. Furthermore, the magnetic coupling can be used to achieve a coherent transfer of quantum information between the flux q...

Abstract This work studies the problem of thermomagnetoelectroelastic anisotropic bimaterial with imperfect high-temperature conducting coherent interface, whose components contain thin inclusions. Using extended Stroh formalism and complex variable calculus, Somigliana-type integral formulae corresponding boundary equations for interface are obtained. These introduced into modified element app...
