Temperature accelerated Monte Carlo (TAMC) : a method for sampling the free energy surface of non-analytical collective variables

Ciccotti, Giovanni ; Meloni, Simone (RSC Publishing, 2011)

We introduce a new method to simulate the physics of rare events. The method, an extension of the Temperature Accelerated Molecular Dynamics, comes in use when the collective variables introduced to characterize the rare ...
Metal surface nucleated supercritical fluid–solid–solid growth of Si and Ge/SiOx core–shell nanowires

Barrett, Christopher A. ; Gunning, Robert Denis ; Hantschel, Thomas ; Arstila, Kai ; O'Sullivan, Catriona ; Geaney, Hugh ; Ryan, Kevin M. (RSC publications, 2010-01)

High yields of single-crystalline silicon nanowires and germanium/silicon oxide core-shell nanostructures were synthesized using a supercritical fluid-solid-solid growth mechanism. The formation of the one-dimensional ...
Reconciliation of contrasting theories for fracture spacing in layered rocks

Schöpfer, Martin P. J. ; Arslan, Arzu ; Walsh, John J. ; Childs, Conrad (Elsevier, 2011-04)

Natural and man-made brittle layers embedded in a weaker matrix and subjected to layer-parallel extension typically develop an array of opening-mode fractures with a remarkably regular spacing. This spacing often scales ...
