The exploration of electric field controlled magnetism has come under scrutiny for its intriguing magnetoelectric phenomenon as well as technological advances in spintronics. Herein, the tremendous effect of an epitaxial strain on voltage-controlled perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (VPMA) is demonstrated in a transition-metal|ferromagnet|MgO (TM|FM|MgO) heterostructure from first-principles el...

Fe-doped III-V ferromagnetic semiconductors (FMSs) such as (In,Fe)As, (Ga,Fe)Sb, (In,Fe)Sb, and (Al,Fe)Sb are promising materials for spintronic device applications because of the availability both $\mathrm{n}$- $\mathrm{p}$-type high Curie temperatures. On other hand, (Ga,Fe)As, which has same zinc-blende crystal structure FMSs, shows paramagnetism. The origin different magnetic properties in ...

The mechanics of the cutting process on the microscopic level differ fundamentally from the conventional macro cutting. For example, the tool edge radius influences the cutting mechanism in micro machining significantly with regard to the effective rake angle, the minimum chip thickness, the dominance of ploughing, and the related elasto-plastic deformation of the workpiece material. These phen...

Computed tomography (CT)-based finite element (FE) models may improve the current osteoporosis diagnostics and prediction of fracture risk by providing an estimate for femoral strength. However, the need for a CT scan, as opposed to the conventional use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for osteoporosis diagnostics, is considered a major obstacle. The 3D shape and bone mineral density (...

The ingredients required for computationally e cient large-scale 3D FE contact analyses of automobile tires are presented. A hybrid nite element is employed for describing the nearly incompressible behaviour of rubber. The reinforcing cords are represented numerically by means of rebar elements. Strategies for reducing the amount of CPU time and disk space are reported including an iterative so...

The demand for an accurate and accessible image segmentation to generate 3D models from CT scan data has been increasing as such models are required in many areas of orthopedics. In this paper, to find the optimal image segmentation to create a 3D model of the knee CT data, we compared and validated segmentation algorithms based on both objective comparisons and finite element (FE) analysis. Fo...

The contact of a steel electrode with water dispersion medium in an open-air system leads to the development of various polymorphic iron oxides and oxyhydroxides on the steel surface. Whereas the usage of distilled water causes the obtaining of Fe(II)-Fe(III) layered double hydroxides (green rust) as a primary mineral phase, but in the presence of inorganic 3d-metal water salt solutions, mixed ...

Subject-specific modeling is increasingly important in biomechanics simulation. However, how to automatically create highquality finite element (FE) mesh and how to automatically impose boundary conditionare challenging. This paper presents a statistical atlas based approach for automatic meshing of subject-specific shapes. In our approach, shape variations among a shape population are explicit...

A method is described for generating a patient-specific, statistical motion model (SMM) of the prostate gland. Finite element analysis (FEA) is used to simulate the motion of the gland using an ultrasound-based 3D FE model over a range of plausible boundary conditions and soft-tissue properties. By applying principal component analysis to the displacements of the FE mesh node points inside the ...

Resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) measurements at Fe L(2,3) edges and electronic structure calculations for LiFeAs and NaFeAs are presented. Experiment and theory show that in the vicinity of the Fermi energy, the density of states is dominated by contributions from Fe 3d states. The comparison of Fe L(2,3) XES with spectra of related FeAs compounds reveals similar trends in energy and...
