in this paper, a rectangular sandwich plate with a constrained layer and an electrorheological (er) fluid core is investigated. the rectangular plate is covered an er fluid core and a constraining layer to improve the stability of the system. the two outer layers of the sandwich structure are elastic. the viscoelastic materials express the middle layer behavior under electric field and small st...

Effects of electric field on the structure of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) terminated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on gold have been studied using parallel molecular dynamics method. An applied electric field triggers a conformational transition from all-trans to a mostly gauche conformation. The polarity of the electric field has a significant effect on the surface structure of PE...

In order to investigate charge ordering phenomena under electric field, static nonequilibrium Hartree approximation (SNHA) method is formulated on the basis of the nonequilibrium Green’s functions introduced by Keldysh. By applying the SNHA to the 3/4-filling extended Hubbard model on anisotropic triangular lattice, we study the stabilities and amplitudes of 3-fold and horizontal charge orders ...

A polarizable quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics model has been extended to account for the difference between the macroscopic electric field and the actual electric field felt by the solute molecule. This enables the calculation of effective microscopic properties which can be related to macroscopic susceptibilities directly comparable with experimental results. By separating the discre...

spatial distribution of electric field amplitude has an essential role in laser-induced damagemulti-layer coating. a new method introduced in this paper to reduce the electric field intensityeffectively within the high index layers in multi-layer reflectors that are irradiated by high power lasers.the design is based on specific non-quarter wave pairs, assuming the number of layers is held cons...

A series of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations up to 1 μs for bovine insulin monomer in different external electric fields were carried out to study the effect of external electric field on conformational integrity of insulin. Our results show that the secondary structure of insulin is kept intact under the external electric field strength below 0.15 V/nm, but disruption of secondary structure...

The stability of the equilibrium configurations of a nematic liquid crystal confined between two coaxial cylinders is analysed when a radial electric field is applied and the flexoelectric effect is taken into account. The threshold for perturbations depending only on the radius r in the cylindrical coordinate system and strong boundary conditions is studied. A new type of orientational transit...

Ultrashort electron bunches are crucial for an increasing number of applications, however, diagnosing their longitudinal phase space remains a challenge. We propose a new method that harnesses the strong electric fields present in a laser driven plasma wakefield. By transversely displacing driver laser and witness bunch, a streaking field is applied to the bunch. This field maps the time inform...

We derive the pair-production probability in a constant electric field in Rindler coordinates in a quasi-classical approximation. Our result is different from the pairproduction probability in an inertial frame (Schwinger formula). In particular, it exhibits non-trivial dependence on rapidity and deviation from Gaussian behavior at small transverse momenta. Our results can be important for anal...
