! Abstract It has recently become possible to measure the anisotropic distribution of interfaces in polycrystals and composites. Because classical theories for grain growth and coarsening assume isotropic interface properties, they are incapable of explaining how these distributions arise. The purpose of this paper is to review the results of recent experiments, simulations, and theories that d...

The behaviour of the flat anisotropic model of the Universe with a scalar field is explored within the framework of quantum cosmology. The principal moment of the account of an anisotropy is the presence either negative potential barrier or positive repelling wall. In the first case occur the above barrier reflection of the wave function of the Universe, in the second one there is bounce off a ...

A general theory for the spatial ordering of immobile clustered defects in irradiated materials is presented here. A vectorial form for the Fourier transforms of perturbations in the concentration of point and clustered defects is derived. Linear stability analysis indicates that, under conditions appropriate for void growth ~high temperature!, instabilities leading to spatially ordered microst...

After the discovery of magnetism in monolayer CrI3, magnetic properties different 2D materials from chromium-trihalide family are intuitively assumed to be similar, yielding anisotropy spin-orbit coupling on halide ligands. Here we reveal significant differences between CrI3 and CrBr3 monolayers their anisotropy, resulting Curie temperature, hysteresis external field, evolution with strain, all...

introduction: there is many ways to assessing the electrical conductivity anisotropy of a tumor. applying the values of tissue electrical conductivity anisotropy is crucial in numerical modeling of the electric and thermal field distribution in electroporation treatments. this study aims to calculate the tissues electrical conductivity anisotropy in patients with sarcoma tumors using diffusion ...

A three-dimensional (3-D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation of the whistler anisotropy instability is carried out for a collisionless, homogeneous, magnetized plasma with βe = 0.10. This is the first 3-D PIC simulation of the evolution of enchanced fluctuations from this growing mode driven by an anisotropic electron velocity distribution with T⟂e∕T∥e>1 where ⟂ and ∥ represent directions perpen...

We have fabricated Fe(N) thin films with varied N partial pressure and studied the microstructure, morphology, magnetic 2 properties and resistivity by using X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, vibrating-sample magnetometer and angle-resolved M-H hysteresis Loop tracer and standard four-point probe method. In the presence of low N2 partial pressure, Fe(...

The magnetic properties of 1 nm thick in-plane anisotropic Co ultrathin film on ZnO(0001) were investigated through successive 500 eV nitrogen-ion sputtering. Magneto-optical Faraday effects were used to observe the evolution of the ion-irradiated sample in longitudinal and perpendicular magnetic fields. The ferromagnetic phase of the initial in-plane anisotropic fcc β-Co phase transformation t...

Naturally occurred soil deposits inherit heterogeneity and anisotropy in their strength properties. The main purpose of this paper is to model the soil stratum with anisotropy consideration and spatially varying undrained shear strength by using random field theory coupled with finite difference numerical analysis to evaluate their effect on the bearing capacity of the shallow foundations. In t...
