Abstract In forming processes, friction is a local phenomenon influenced by the contact conditions at tool-sheet metal interface. A multi-scale model applicable for coated sheets developed boundary lubrication regime which accounts physical behavior of coating and measured surface topographies sheet tools. The patches therefore real area determined interface different loading conditions. single...

Boundary scattering is the most widely encountered size effect in nanoscale transport phenomena, and rate usually regarded as a constant that proportional to ratio of carrier velocity characteristic size. Here, through combined experimental measurements numerical modeling, we show non-monotonic variations boundary for free electrons metal nanowires temperature escalates. This observation attrib...

Experimentally determined metal/olivine partition coefficients and diffusion rates will help answer questions relating to Earth's elevated Mg/Si ratio and will provide better tools for the determination of the origin of pallasites. It is known that the Mg/Si ratio of the Earth's primitive upper mantle (PUM) is elevated relative to all types of chondrites (possibly not CV chondrites), Mars, and ...

The quantum phase transition between the three dimensional Dirac semimetal and the diffusive metal can be induced by increasing disorder. Taking the system of a disordered Z2 topological insulator as an important example, we compute the single particle density of states by the kernel polynomial method. We focus on three regions: the Dirac semimetal at the phase boundary between two topologicall...

where ∆T and q are the temperature drop and heat flux across the interface. Predicting the thermal boundary resistance of semiconductor/semiconductor interfaces is important in devices where phonon interface scattering is a significant contributor to the overall thermal resistance (e.g., computer chips with high component density). Such predictions will also lead to improvements in the design o...

We have recently demonstrated that GaAs nanosheets can be grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Here, we investigate these nanosheets by secondary electron scanning electron microscopy (SE-SEM) and electron beam induced current (EBIC) imaging. An abrupt boundary is observed between an initial growth region and an overgrowth region in the nanosheets. The SE-SEM contrast betwe...

The present paper aims to investigate the role of open metal site metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on hydrogen adsorptivity using periodic boundary condition (PBC) density functional theory (DFT). Hence, MIL-47-M (M = V and Fe) were selected and one hydrogen molecule adsorptivity was calculated in different orientations on them. Four different chemical sites were identified in every cluster sect...
