Applications of the work introduced by the authors in a recent article, Filament sets and homogeneous continua, are given to aposyndesis and local connectedness. The aposyndetic decomposition theorem of Jones is generalized to spaces with the property of Kelley.

     

Magneto-elasto-dynamic analysis of an elastically confined conducting nanowire due to an axial magnetic shock

Vibration of a conducting nanowire embedded in an elastic matrix due to an axial magnetic shock is of concern. Based on Maxwell?s and Cauchy?s equations, a model is proposed to study the problem in the context of nonlocal continuum theory. For solving the equations of motion of the nanowire, an analytical approach and a semi-analytical technique are proposed for low and high levels of small-scale parameter, respectively. The effects of small-scale parameter, stiffness of the surrounding matrix, and duration of the applied magnetic shock on the maximum dynamic elastic fields are examined.     

Luminescence and SHF Photoconductivity of Cadmium and Zinc Sulfides Obtained from Thiocarbamide Coordination Compounds

We have investigated the luminescence and microwave photoconductivity of cadmium sulfide and zinc sulfide films obtained from halide (Cl, Br, I) thiocarbamide coordination compounds. We show that the formation of the impurity and intrinsic centers of radiative recombination is governed not only by preparative conditions, but also by the chemical nature of the initial thiocarbamide coordination compounds.

Mechanical properties of defective single-layered graphene sheets via molecular dynamics simulation

In this paper, the effects of two main types of structural defects, i.e. Stone–Wales and single vacancy, on the mechanical properties of single-layered graphene sheets (SLGSs) are investigated. To this end, molecular dynamics simulations based on the Tersoff–Brenner potential function and Nose–Hoover thermostat technique are implemented. The results obtained have revealed that the presence of defects significantly reduces the failure strain and the intrinsic strength of SLGSs, while it has a slight effect on Young’s modulus. Furthermore, the examination of loading in both armchair and zigzag directions demonstrated that SLGSs are slightly stronger in the armchair direction and defects have lower effect in this direction. Considering the fracture mechanism, the failure process of defective and perfect graphene sheets is also presented.     

PLE spectra analysis of the sub-structure in the absorption spectra of CdSeS quantum dots

The semiconductor CdSeS quantum dots (QDs) embedded in glass are analysed by means of absorption spectra, photoluminescence (PL) spectra and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra. The peaks of absorption spectra shift to lower energies with the size of QD increasing, which obviously shows a quantum-size effect. Using the PLE spectra, the physical origin of the lowest absorption peak is analysed. In PLE spectra, the lowest absorption peak can be deconvoluted into two peaks that stem from the transitions of 1S_3/2--1S_e and 2S_3/2--1S_e respectively. The measured energy difference between the two peaks is found to decrease with the size of QD increasing, which agrees well with the theoretical calculation for the two transitions. The luminescence peak of defect states is also analysed by PLE spectra. Two transitions are present in the PLE, which indicates that the transitions of 1S_3/2--1S_e and 2S_3/2--1S_e are responsible for the defect states luminescence.     

Modelling transient heat conduction in solids at multiple length and time scales: A coupled non-equilibrium molecular dynamics/continuum approach

A method for controlling the thermal boundary conditions of non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations is presented. The method is simple to implement into a conventional molecular dynamics code and independent of the atomistic model employed. It works by regulating the temperature in a thermostatted boundary region by feedback control to achieve the desired temperature at the edge of an inner region where the true atomistic dynamics are retained. This is necessary to avoid intrinsic boundary effects in non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. Three thermostats are investigated: the global deterministic Nosé–Hoover thermostat and two local stochastic thermostats, Langevin and stadium damping. The latter thermostat is introduced to avoid the adverse reflection of phonons that occurs at an abrupt interface. The method is then extended to allow atomistic/continuum models to be thermally coupled concurrently for the analysis of large steady state and transient heat conduction problems. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated for the example of heat flow down a three-dimensional atomistic rod of uniform cross-section subjected to a variety of boundary conditions.
