Bauschinger effect in thin metal films: Discrete dislocation dynamics study
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2014)The effects of dislocation climb on plastic deformation during loading and unloading are studied using a two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics model. Simulations are performed for polycrystalline thin films ... -
Elastic scattering and rotational excitation of nitrogen molecules by sodium atoms
(AIP Publishing, 2011)A quantal study of the rotational excitation of nitrogen molecules by sodium atoms is carried out. We present the two-dimensional potential energy surface of the NaN2 complex, with the N2 molecule treated as a rigid rotor. ... -
Foldable structures and the natural design of pollen grains
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010)Upon release from the anther, pollen grains of angiosperm flowers are exposed to a dry environment and dehydrate. To survive this process, pollen grains possess a variety of physiological and structural adaptations. Perhaps ... -
Fracture of Heterogeneous Soft Materials
(2023-06-01)Soft materials are often heterogeneous, or composed of multiple parts. The heterogeneous structure of a soft material alters its behavior, and recent works have leveraged this fact to develop rubbers and hydrogels with ... -
He–ThO(1Σ+) Interactions at Low Temperatures: Elastic and Inelastic Collisions, Transport Properties, and Complex Formation in Cold 4He Gas
(AIP Publishing, 2011)We present an ab initio study of cold 4He + ThO(1Σ+) collisions based on an accurate potential energy surface (PES) evaluated by the coupled cluster method with single, double, and noniterative triple excitations using an ... -
Scattering of nitrogen molecules by silver atoms
(AIP Publishing, 2012)We present a quantal study of the rotationally elastic and inelastic scattering of Ag and N(2), with the nitrogen molecule treated as a rigid rotor. The two-dimensional potential energy surface of the AgN(2) complex is ...
