Melting-layer modelling at C-Band

Band Offsets at Strained-layer Interfaces

Strained-layer heterojunctions and superlattices have recently shown tremendous potential for device applications because of their flexibility for tailoring the electronic band structure. We present a theoretical model to predict the band offsets at both latticematched and pseudomorphic strained-layer interfaces. The theory is based on the localdensity-functional pseudopotential formalism, and ...

Melting the ice one layer at a time.

The melting of ice is one of the most common processes on earth. Interestingly, as an ice crystal is warmed from below toward its bulk melting temperature of 0 ◦C a thin film of water forms on it. This water film, referred to as a premelting layer or a quasi-liquid layer (QLL), has been known about for well over a century (1). It is relevant not just to the melting of ice but to important assoc...

Determination of band offsets at GaN/single-layer MoS2 heterojunction

Modelling of glass melting industrial process

The present paper emphasizes the potentialities of the industrial use of three-dimensional mathematical modelling of glass melting tanks for optimization of working conditions, design and control of indusaial furnaces. A short review of related recent relevant works is presented and industrial needs and requirements in modelling are discussed. A modelling procedure to solve the heat and mass tr...

Modelling and Simulation of Ice/Snow Melting

A moving boundary problem, the so-called Stefan Problem, for the melting of ice is set up, then solved numerically using Matlab. Thereby curves for the position of the boundary between ice and water are produced. From these curves the melting time for a given layer thickness of ice/snow can be found. Furthermore, such curves are also presented when salt is added to the ice. It is seen that the ...
