Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has become established as a powerful and a versatile tool for investigating local mechanical properties. In addition, it has been made possible to take advantage of the AFM tip-sample interaction, to perturb,…

Activation functions are widely used in neural networks to decide the activation value of the neural unit based upon linear combinations of the weighted inputs. The effective implementation of activation function is highly important, as…

In Micro-electro-mechanical Systems (MEMS) based pressure sensors and acoustic devices, deflection of a membrane is utilized for pressure or sound measurements. Due to advantages of capacitive pressure sensor over piezoresistive pressure…

Molybdenum supported thin films of ScN, MgO and NaF with a Cu adatom have been studied in the framework of density functional theory. We have observed a charge transfer from the metal/film interface to the Cu atom and investigated its…

Disordered elemental semiconductors, most notably a-C and a-Si, are ubiquitous in a myriad of different applications. These exploit their unique mechanical and electronic properties. In the past couple of decades, density functional theory…

Polymer adsorption is a fundamental problem in statistical mechanics that has direct relevance to diverse disciplines ranging from biological lubrication to stability of colloidal suspensions. We combine experiments with computer…

A combination of the memory function formalism and time-dependent density-functional theory is applied to transport in dilute magnetic semiconductors. The approach considers spin and charge disorder and electron-electron interaction on an…

We explore the structure of magnetic field lines in and around filaments in simulations of molecular clouds undergoing global, multi-scale gravitational collapse. In these simulations, filaments are not in a static equilibrium, but are…

We report on the application of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) for studying the Field Emission (FE) properties of a dense array of long and vertically quasi-aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes grown by catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition…

{Filaments are ubiquitous in the interstellar medium as recently emphasized by Herschel, yet their physical origin remains elusive} {It is therefore important to understand the physics of molecular clouds to investigate how filaments form…

Ferromagnetic insulators (FM-Is) are the materials of interest for new generation quantum electronic applications. Here, we have investigated the physical observables depicting FM-I ground states in epitaxial Sm$ _{2} $NiMnO$ _{6} $ (SNMO)…

We use neutron reflectometry to investigate the interlayer exchange coupling between Ga$_{0.97}$Mn$_{0.03}$As ferromagnetic semiconductor layers separated by non-magnetic Be-doped GaAs spacers. Polarized neutron reflectivity measured below…

This work further investigates an aspect of the phase behavior of hard circular arcs, whose phase diagram has been recently calculated by Monte Carlo numerical simulations: the non-nematicity of the filamentary phase that hard minor…

Biological and robotic systems often operate in confined environments where material must be gathered without centralized control. Inspired by the effective collection strategies of aquatic worms (Lumbriculus variegatus and Tubifex…

We report an Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) study on thick multi lamellar stacks of approx. 10 mum thickness (about 1500 stacked membranes) of DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phoshatidylcholine) deposited on silicon wafers. These thick…

The filamentation instability driven by two spatially uniform and counter-streaming beams of charged particles in plasmas is modelled by a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. Each beam consists of the electrons and positrons. The four…

We present theory and experiments for the force-distance curve $F(z_0)$ of an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip (radius $R$) indenting a supported fluid bilayer (thickness $2d$). For realistic conditions the force is dominated by the area…

Spin-memory loss (SML) of electrons traversing ferromagnetic-metal/heavy-metal (FM/HM), FM/normal-metal (FM/NM) and HM/NM interfaces is a fundamental phenomenon that must be invoked to explain consistently large number of spintronic…

We have investigated the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) of (In,Fe)As ferromagnetic semiconductor (FMS) layers grown on semi-insulating GaAs substrates. In a 10 nm-thick (In,Fe)As layer which is insulating at low temperature, we…

This study presents the design, fabrication, and test of a micro accelerometer with intrinsic processing capabilities, that integrates the functions of sensing and computing in the same MEMS. The device consists of an inertial mass…
