Interfacial Microcompartmentalization by Kinetic Control of Selective Interfacial Accumulation

Thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of interfacial decohesion

Thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of interfacial decohesion are analyzed for a uniformly stressed interface in the presence of an embrittling impurity. During the interfacial separation, the impurity penetrates into the interface and reduces it cohesion. Rice (1976) and Hirth and Rice (1980) analyzed the thermodynamics of this process in great detail with emphasis on the limiting cases of infin...

Electro-kinetic Structure Model with Interfacial Reactions

In the framework of fundamentals of smart materials and structures, a proper mathematical modeling of electro-kinetic transport phenomena in micro-structures adhering to the law of conservation of mass is suggested. The reference multiphase medium is described by a nonlinear Poisson–Nernst–Planck model stated in a heterogeneous pore-particle space disjoint by the interface. For physical consist...

Kinetic Modeling of Sunflower Oil Methanolysis Considering Effects of Interfacial Area of Reaction System

Interfacial Fermi loops from interfacial symmetries.

We propose a concept of interfacial symmetries such as interfacial particle-hole symmetry and interfacial time-reversal symmetry, which appear in interfaces between two regions related to each other by particle-hole or time-reversal transformations. These symmetries result in novel dispersion of interface states. In particular, for the interfacial particle-hole symmetry, the gap closes along a ...

Control of magnetism by interfacial strain in Ni/V2O3 nanostructures

Magnetic properties of thin films can be modified through proximity effects with multilayer structures. Materials that undergo both a structural phase transition (SPT) and a metal to insulator transition (MIT) have been used for this purpose. This crystallographic change induces a stress to the adjacent layer that changes the magnetic properties of the film through magnetoelastic anisotropy. Th...
