The dependences of the two-dimensional to three-dimensional growth (2D-3D) critical transition thickness on the composition for GeSiSn films with a fixed Ge content and Sn content from 0 to 16% at the growth temperature of 150 °С have been obtained. The phase diagrams of the superstructure change during the epitaxial growth of Sn on Si and on Ge(100) have been built. Using the phase diagram dat...

A system of coupled chaotic bistable maps on a lattice with randomly distributed impurities is investigated as a model for studying the phenomenon of phase growth in nonuniform media. The statistical properties of the system are characterized by means of the average size of spatial domains of equivalent spin variables that define the phases. It is found that the rate at which phase domains grow...

Can an increase in the rate of savings slow down long-run growth ? Can a tax on capital lead to higher growth even though the revenue is not spend on R&D, or for some other productive purpose ? Is a perfectly competitive, non-distorted economy safeguarded against ’growth traps’, implying that ’free market’ development strategies always work ? The present study shows how any growth model with an...

Motivated by microscopic traffic modeling, we analyze dynamical systems which have a piecewise linear concave dynamics not necessarily monotonic. We introduce a deterministic Petri net extension where edges may have negative weights. The dynamics of these Petri nets are uniquely defined and may be described by a generalized matrix with a submatrix in the standard algebra with possibly negative ...

Controlling states and growths of a microscale bubble (or pendant drop) in a static liquid on a solid surface (or orifice) can be achieved by introducing general dimensionless phase diagrams provided in this work. Nowadays, microbubbles are often used to control transport phenomena in various microand nano-technologies. This work parametrically presents general three-dimensional phase diagrams ...
