Determination of critical points on silicon nanofilms: Surface and quantum confinement effects
(2008)In this work, we present a comprehensive study of the optical properties of nanocrystalline silicon films with thickness varied from 5 to 30 nm. Spectroscopic ellipsometry is employed to determine the dielectric functions ...

Liquid expanded monolayers of lipids as model systems to understand the anionic hofmeister series: 1. A tale of models
(2009)In this work, we use Langmuir monolayers of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) as model systems to enhance the understanding of specific anion effects in physicochemical and biological systems. The 298 K isotherms ...

Numerical simulation of the extrusion of strongly compressible Newtonian liquids
(2008)The axisymmetric and plane extrusion flows of a liquid foam are simulated assuming that the foam is a homogeneous compressible Newtonian fluid that slips along the walls. Compressibility effects are investigated using both ...

Perturbation solution of Poiseuille flow of a weakly compressible Oldroyd-B fluid
(2011)The isothermal, planar Poiseuille flow of a weakly compressible Oldroyd-B fluid is considered under the assumption that the density of the fluid obeys a linear equation of state. A perturbation analysis for all the primary ...

Perturbation solution of the compressible annular Poiseuille flow of a viscous fluid
(2010)The isothermal annular Poiseuille flow of a weakly compressible Newtonian liquid with constant shear and bulk viscosities is considered. A linear equation of state is assumed and a perturbation analysis in terms of the ...

Perturbation solutions of Poiseuille flows of weakly compressible Newtonian liquids
(2009)Both the planar and axisymmetric isothermal Poiseuille flows of weakly compressible Newtonian liquids with constant shear and bulk viscosities are solved up to the second-order. A linear equation of state is assumed and a ...

Risk-sensitive/integral control for systems with point process observations
(IEEE, 1994)This paper deals with necessary conditions for integral and exponential-of-integral cost functions, when the signal is a controlled diffusion process, and the observations consist of continuous and discontinuous processes. ...

Steady-state current transfer and scattering theory
(2010)The correspondence between the steady-state theory of current transfer and scattering theory in a system of coupled tight-binding models of one-dimensional wires is explored. For weak interwire coupling both calculations ...

Symmetry and singularity analyses of some equations of the fifth and sixth order in the spatial variable arising from the modelling of thin films
(2013)In the modelling of the flow of thin films higher-order derivatives in the spatial variable are introduced to model nonlinear effects. We examine nonlinear evolution equations of the fifth and sixth orders in the spatial ...

Weakly compressible Poiseuille flows of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid
(2009)In this work, we derive approximate semi-analytical solutions of the steady, creeping, weakly compressible plane and axisymmetric Poiseuille flows of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid. Since the flow is weakly compressible, the ...
