The mechanical response of a bi-crystal model with 90° grain boundary under external compressive and tensile loading parallel to the plane normal was investigated molecular dynamics simulations. found migrate along two opposite directions upon straining, formation inter-connected coherent twin basal/prismatic boundary. atomic details such migration were unraveled, which indicated role interface...

Quantum transducers that can convert quantum signals from the microwave to optical domain are a crucial interface for information technology. Coherent microwave-to-optics conversions have been realized with various physical platforms, but all of them limited low efficiencies less than 50%—the threshold no-cloning regime. Here we report coherent transduction using Rydberg atoms and off-resonant ...

We have compiled a new and complete catalog of the main properties of the 1509 pulsars for which published information currently exists. The catalog includes all spin-powered pulsars as well as anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma-ray repeaters showing coherent pulsed emission, but excludes accretion-powered systems. References are given for all data listed. We have also developed a new web i...

A question based knowledge management system with the capability to integrate heterogeneous sources of information and knowledge and which nonetheless acts like a single coherent system with only one user interface is introduced. Especially this interface and the easy access to different information-resources makes it comfortable for users with even low IT knowledge to find their way through co...

We calculate the short–range contributions C and C to the angular intensity correlation function for the scattering of s-polarized light from a one-dimensional random interface between two dielectric media. The calculations are carried out on the basis of a new approach that separates out explicitly the contributions C and C to the angular intensity correlation function. The contribution C disp...

JStatCom is a new software framework that simplifies the creation of graphical user interface components for mathematical procedures. 1 It is written in Java and offers a coherent approach to creating applications for data based analysis. Programming with JStatCom is efficient, because existing algorithms written in various popular matrix languages can be reused with little or no changes requir...
