Bond-specific reaction kinetics during the oxidation of (111) Si: Effect of n-type doping

Bilal Gokce, David E. Aspnes, Gerald Lucovsky +1

It is known that a higher concentration of free carriers leads to a higher oxide growth rate in the thermal oxidation of silicon. However, the role of electrons and holes in oxidat…

Temperature Dependence of the Dynamics of Portevin-Le Chatelier Effect in Al-2.5%Mg alloy

A. Chatterjee, K. L. Murty, N. Gayathri +2

Tensile tests were carried out by deforming polycrystalline samples of Al-2.5%Mg alloy at four different temperatures in an intermediate strain rate regime of 2x10-4s-1 to 2x10-3s-…

Theory for a dissipative droplet soliton excited by a spin torque nanocontact

M. A. Hoefer, T. J. Silva, Mark W. Keller

A novel type of solitary wave is predicted to form in spin torque oscillators when the free layer has a sufficiently large perpendicular anisotropy. In this structure, which is a d…

Universal shapes formed by two interacting cracks

Melissa L. Fender, Frederic Lechenault, Karen E. Daniels

We investigate the origins of the widely-observed "en passant" crack pattern which forms through interactions between two approaching cracks. A rectangular elastic plate is notched…

Wave functions for quantum Monte Carlo calculations in solids: Orbitals from density functional theory with hybrid exchange-correlation functionals

Jindrich Kolorenc, Shuming Hu, Lubos Mitas

We investigate how the fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo energy of solids depends on single-particle orbitals used in Slater--Jastrow wave functions. We demonstrate that the depende…

Electron spin relaxation in carbon nanotubes

Y. G. Semenov, J. M. Zavada, K. W. Kim

The long standing problem of inexplicably short spin relaxation in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is examined. The curvature-mediated spin-orbital interaction is shown to induce fluctuati…
