We study the effects of elastic anisotropy on the Landau-de Gennes critical points for nematic liquid crystals, in a square domain. The elastic anisotropy is captured by a parameter, $L_2$, and the critical points are described by three…
We present thermopower $S$ and resistance $R$ measurements on GaAs-based mesoscopic two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) as functions of the electron density $n_s$. At high $n_s$ we observe good agreement between the measured $S$ and…
In linear elasticity, a fourth order elasticity (stiffness) tensor of 21 independent components completely describes deformation properties of a material. Due to Voigt, this tensor is conventionally represented by a $6\times 6$ symmetric…
We report the first principles study of structural, elastic, electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of newly synthesized K2Cu2GeS4. The structural parameters are found to be in good agreement with experimental results. The single…
Experimental investigation as well as theoretical calculations, of the Fe-partial phonon density-of-states (DOS) for nominally Fe_52.5Cr_47.5 alloy having (a) alpha- and (b) sigma-phase structure were carried out. The former at sector 3-ID…
For a given crystal structure, say body-centred-cubic, the many-body Hamiltonian in which nuclear and electron motions are to be treated from the outset on the same footing, has parameters, for the elements, which can be classified as (i)…
Using molecular dynamics simulations we compute the elastic constants of ice I$_h$ for a set of 8 frequently used semi-empirical potentials for water, namely the rigid-molecule SPC/E, TIP4P, TIP4P2005, TIP4P/Ice and TIP5P models, the…
An analytical solution has been developed clarifying that the thermally driven elastic softening of crystals can be directly related to the length and strength of the representative bonds of the crystal and to the response of the bonding…
Uranium dioxide which is used as a fuel in light water nuclear reactors, is continually exposed to radiation damage originated from the collision of high-energy particles. Accumulation of the resulting defects gives rise to the evolution in…
We present a detailed density functional theory based calculations of the structural, elastic, lattice dynamical, thermophysical, and optoelectronic properties of ternary semiconductors CaZn$_2$X$_2$ (X = N, P, As) in this paper. The…
The temperature dependence of DNA flexibility is studied in the presence of stretching and unzipping forces. Two classes of models are considered. In one case the origin of elasticity is entropic due to the polymeric correlations, and in…
The Debye temperature, T_D, of sigma-phase Fe_(100-x)Mo_x compounds with 47 < x < 56.7 was determined from the temperature dependence of the centre shift of M\"ossbauer spectra recorded in the temperature range of 80 - 300 K. Its…
Time resolved pump and probe acoustics and first-principles calculations were employed to assess elastic properties of the TbMnO3 perovskite manganite having orthorhombic symmetry. Measuring sound velocities of bulk longitudinal and shear…
We present full characterisation of acoustic wave devices based on the fully synthetic crystalline material at the liquid helium temperature range { required for the design of ultra low loss mechanical systems in many areas of research…
Ab initio calculations based on the Density Functional Theory are used to show that the Debye frequency is a linear function of density to a high accuracy for several elemental solids at pressures (at least) up to 360 GPa. This implies that…
The adiabatic elastic modulus is often useful in the high frequency response of materials. Unfortunately, it can be much more difficult to directly measure the adiabatic elastic modulus of material than the isothermal elastic modulus. We…
We report the discovery of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the surface of thermoelectric material In$_4$Se$_3$ by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The observed 2DEG exhibits a nearly isotropic band dispersion with a…
Results are presented for the temperature and frequency dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the diagonal self energy for a d-wave superconductor. An Eliashberg analysis, which has been successful in recent fitting of…
Solid He4 is viewed as a nearly perfect Debye solid. Yet, recent calorimetry indicates that its low-temperature specific heat has both cubic and linear contributions. These features appear in the same temperature range ($T \sim 200$ mK)…
We derive expressions for determination of the stress and the elastic constants in systems composed of particles interacting via non-central two-body potentials as thermal averages of products of first and second partial derivatives of the…
