Temperature transitions and degeneracy in the control of small clusters with a macroscopic field
Francesco Boccardo, Olivier Pierre-Louis
We present a numerical investigation of the control of few-particle fluctuating clusters with a macroscopic field. Our goal is to reach a given target cluster shape is minimum time…
Equilibrium return times of small fluctuating clusters and vacancies
Francesco Boccardo, Younes Benamara, Olivier Pierre-Louis
The expected return time of a fluctuating two-dimensional cluster or vacancy to a given configuration is studied in thermodynamic equilibrium. We define a family of bond-breaking m…
Controlling the shape of small clusters with and without macroscopic fields
Francesco Boccardo, Olivier Pierre-Louis
Despite major advances in the understanding of the formation and dynamics of nano-clusters in the past decades, theoretical bases for the control of their shape are still lacking.…
Interface collisions with diffusive mass transport
Bastien Marguet, F. D. A. Aarão Reis, Olivier Pierre-Louis
We report on a linear Langevin model that describes the evolution of the roughness of two interfaces that move towards each other and are coupled by a diffusion field. This model a…
Growth at high substrate coverage can decrease the grain boundary roughness of 2D materials
Fabio D. A. Aarão Reis, Bastien Marguet, Olivier Pierre-Louis
Grain boundary roughness can affect electronic and mechanical properties of two-dimensional materials. This roughness depends crucially on the growth process by which the two-dimen…
