Uncovering liquid-substrate fluctuation effects on crystal growth and disordered hyperuniformity of two-dimensional materials
S. K. Mkhonta, Zhi-Feng Huang, K. R. Elder
We investigate the growth of two-dimensional (2D) crystals on fluctuating surfaces using a phase field crystal model that is relevant on atomic length and diffusive time scales. Mo…
Remote and Rural Connectivity: Infrastructure and Resource Sharing Principles
Thembelihle Dlamini, Sifiso Vilakati
As Mobile Networks (MNs) are advancing towards meeting mobile users requirements, the rural-urban divide still remains a major challenge. While areas within the urban space (metrop…
Quantum Corrections to Solitons in the Model
I. Takyi, M. K. Matfunjwa, H. Weigel
We compute the vacuum polarization energy of kink solitons in the model in one space and one time dimensions. There are three possible field potentials that have eight powe…
MEC-enabled Energy Cooperation for Sustainable 5G Networks Exploiting the Location Service API
Thembelihle Dlamini
The substantial growth in wireless data traffic, and the emergence of delay-sensitive application/services requiring ultra-low latency, has resulted into a new Mobile Network (MN)…
Grain Boundary Structures and Collective Dynamics of Inversion Domains in Binary Two-Dimensional Materials
Doaa Taha, S. K. Mkhonta, K. R. Elder +1
Understanding and controlling the properties and dynamics of topological defects is a lasting challenge in the study of two-dimensional materials, and is crucial to achieve high-qu…
