Strain and Structure in Nanocrystals

Bae Y., Caflisch R.E., University of California, Los Angeles, US

Layered nanocrystals consist of a core of one material surrounded by a shell of a second material. Because of the small size of these systems, their atomic structure is epitaxial in many cases. Lattice mismatch [...]

Numerical Computation of Dispersion Relations for Multi-layered Anisotropic Structures

Botkin N.D., Hoffmann K-H, Pykhteev O.A., Turova V.L., Center of Advanced European Studies and Research, DE

The paper presents an algorithm and a program for the computation of the propagation velocity of acoustic waves excited in anisotropic multi-layered structures. This investigation is motivated by the modeling of a biosensor that serves [...]
