“Microstructural and transport characteristics of triply periodic bicontinuous materials” is Published in Acta Materialia Categories News Author Julia Kazmierczak Read the full paper: here Link to the journal: here Three-dimensional (3D) bicontinuous two-phase materials are increasingly gaining interest because of their unique multifunctional characteristics and advancements in techniques to fabricate them. Because of their complex topological and structural properties, it still has been nontrivial to develop explicit microstructure-dependent formulas to predict accurately their physical … Continue Reading “Microstructural and transport characteristics of triply periodic bicontinuous materials” is Published in Acta Materialia
“Hyperuniformity classes of quasiperiodic tilings via diffusion spreadability” is Published in Physical Review E Categories News Author Julia Kazmierczak Read the full paper: here Link to the journal: here Hyperuniform point patterns can be classified by the hyperuniformity scaling exponent \(\alpha > 0\), that characterizes the power-law scaling behavior of the structure factor \(S(\mathbf{k})\) as a function of wavenumber \(k\equiv|\mathbf{k}|\) in the vicinity of the origin, e.g., \(S(\mathbf{k})\sim|\mathbf{k}|^{\alpha}\) in cases where \(S(\mathbf{k})\) varies continuously … Continue Reading “Hyperuniformity classes of quasiperiodic tilings via diffusion spreadability” is Published in Physical Review E
“Local number fluctuations in ordered and disordered phases of water across temperatures: Higher-order moments and degrees of tetrahedrality” is Published in The Journal of Chemical Physics Categories News Author ms87 Read the full paper: here Link to the journal: here The isothermal compressibility (i.e., related to the asymptotic number variance) of equilibrium liquid water as a function of temperature is minimal under near-ambient conditions. This anomalous non-monotonic temperature dependence is due to a balance between thermal fluctuations and the formation of tetrahedral hydrogen-bond networks. Since … Continue Reading “Local number fluctuations in ordered and disordered phases of water across temperatures: Higher-order moments and degrees of tetrahedrality” is Published in The Journal of Chemical Physics
