We report the first results from novel sub-Angstrom oscillation amplitude non-contact atomic force microscopy developed for lateral force gradient measurements. Quantitative lateral force gradients between a tungsten tip and Si(1 1 1)-(7 x 7) surface can be measured using this microscope. Simultaneous lateral force gradient and scanning tunnelling microscope images of single and multi atomic steps are obtained. In our measurement, tunnel current is used as feedback. The lateral stiffness contrast has been observed to be 2.5 N/mat single atomic step, in contrast to 13 N/m at multi atomic step on Si(1 1 1) surface. We also carried out a series of lateral stiffness-distance spectroscopy. We observed lateral stiffness-distance curves exhibit sharp increase in the stiffness as the sample is approached towards the surface. We usually observed positive stiffness and sometimes going into slightly negative region.

Three-dimensional wake reconstruction of a flapping-wing MAV using a Kriging regression technique Perçin, Mustafa; Van Oudheusden, Bas W.; Dwight, R P (2013-07-01) The work explores the three-dimensional unsteady wake of a flapping-wing Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) ‘DelFly II’, applying a Kriging regression technique for the spatial regression of time-resolved Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (Stereo-PIV) data. In the view of limited number of measurement planes, the particular objective of the regression is to provide an accurate volumetric representation of the measurement domain on a spatial grid that is much finer than the spacing between the measurement planes....
X-ray flux and pulse frequency changes of three high mass X-ray binary pulsars: Vela X-1, GX 301-2 and OAO 1657-415 Inam, SC; Baykal, Altan (2000-01-01) Using archival BATSE (Burst and Transient Source Experiment) 20-50 keV band X-ray flux and pulse frequency time series, we look for correlations between torque, luminosity and specific angular momentum for three high mass X-ray binary pulsars Vela X-1, GX 301-2 and OAO 1657-415. Our results show that there is no correlation between pulse frequency derivative and flux which may be an indication of the absence of stable prograde accretion disk. From the strong correlation of specific angular momentum and torq...
Intersonic shear crack growth along weak planes Rosakis, Ares J.; Samudrala, Omprakash; Çöker, Demirkan (Informa UK Limited, 2000-01-01) Classical dynamic fracture theories predict the Rayleigh surface wave speed (cR) to be the limiting speed of propagation for mode-I cracks in constitutively homogeneous, isotropic, linear elastic materials subjected to remote loading. For mode-II cracks, propagating along prescribed straight line paths, the same theories, while excluding the possibility of crack growth in the speed regime between cR and the shear wave speed, cs, do not exclude intersonic (cs<υ<cl) crack tip speeds. In the present study, we ...
Modal analysis of elastic vibrations of incompressible materials using a pressure-stabilized finite element method Codina, Ramon; Türk, Önder (2022-09-01) This paper describes a modal analysis technique to approximate the vibrations of incompressible elastic solids using a stabilized finite element method to approximate the associated eigenvalue problem. It is explained why residual based formulations are not appropriate in this case, and a formulation involving only the pressure gradient is employed. The effect of the stabilization term compared to a Galerkin approach is detailed, both in the derivation of the approximate formulation and in the error estimat...
Au-8 cluster adsorption on Si(100):2 x 1 asymmetric surface studied by a first principles calculation Akturk, Olcay Uzengi; Tomak, Mehmet (Elsevier BV, 2010-04-02) In this work, we investigate the adsorption of Au-8 cluster onto H-terminated Si(100):2 x 1 asymmetric surface by density functional theory within local density and generalized gradient approximations. We study the site-dependent shape of Au-8 cluster, adsorption energies, band structures and the corresponding charge distribution. We show that the electronic properties of the cluster and substrate complex change with the location of the cluster on the surface.
