Casimir interactions in Ising strips with boundary fields: exact results
Douglas B. Abraham, Anna Maciolek
An exact statistical mechanical derivation is given of the critical Casimir forces for Ising strips with arbitrary surface fields applied to edges. Our results show that the streng…
Thermally Induced Local Failures in Quasi-One-Dimensional Systems: Collapse in Carbon Nanotubes, Necking in Nanowires and Opening of Bubbles in DNA
Cristiano Nisoli, Douglas Abraham, Turab Lookman +1
We present a general framework to explore thermally activated failures in quasi one dimensional systems. We apply it to the collapse of carbon nanotubes, the formation of bottlenec…
Thermal Stability of Strained Nanowires
Cristiano Nisoli, Douglas Abraham, Turab Lookman +1
Stranski-Krastanov strained islands undergo a shape anisotropy transition as they grow in size, finally evolving toward nanowires. This effect has been explained until now via simp…
