چکیده

The liquid crystalline model biomembrane system consisting of a stack of interacting membranes is studied in the realistic soft confinement regime by the newly developed Fourier Monte Carlo simulation technique. In this regime experiment and simulations show that the functional form of the fluctuation pressure is more nearly exponential rather than the power law valid for the hard confinement regime. The simulations provide quantitative improvement over perturbation theory. It is shown that the harmonic theory that is routinely used to interpret x-ray scattering line shapes is valid.

Adaptive Control Strategy for a Bilateral Tele- Surgery System Interacting with Active Soft Tissues

In this paper, the problem of control and stabilization of a bilateral tele-surgery roboticsystem in interaction with an active soft tissue is considered. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, theprevious works did not consider a realistic model for a moving soft tissue like heart tissue in beating heartsurgery. Here, a new model is proposed to indicate significant characteristics of a moving ...

Impact of Silicon Wafer Orientation on the Performance of Metal Source/Drain MOSFET in Nanoscale Regime: a Numerical Study

A comprehensive study of Schottky barrier MOSFET (SBMOSFET) scaling issue is performed to determine the role of wafer orientation and structural parameters on the performance of this device within Non-equilibrium Green's Function formalism. Quantum confinement increases the effective Schottky barrier height (SBH). (100) orientation provides lower effective Schottky barrier height in compa...

Effects of on-center impurity on energy levels of low-lying states in concentric double quantum rings

In this paper, the electronic eigenstates and energy spectra of single and two-interacting electrons confined in a concentric double quantum rings with a perpendicular magnetic field in the presence of         on-center donor and acceptor impurities are calculated using the exact diagonalization method. For a single electron case, the binding energy of on-center donor and acceptor impurities ar...

Modified Thomson problem.

The modified Thomson problem, which concerns an assembly of N particles mutually interacting through a Coulombic potential and subject to a Coulombic-harmonic confinement, is introduced. For sufficiently strong confinement strengths M, properties of its solutions (such as the energy and the particle positions at the minimum, and the corresponding zero-point vibrational energy) are accurately es...
